Features

• Fluent Interfaces - Implements a fluent interface pattern that allows for the intuitive, chainable construction of URLs and HTTP requests.
• URL Construction - Provides a fluent, chainable interface for the incremental construction of complex URLs, paths, and query parameters.
• HTTP Client Wrappers - Acts as a high-level wrapper around the .NET HTTP client to simplify request sending and response deserialization.
• HTTP Request Execution - Enables the execution of asynchronous HTTP requests using standard and custom verbs with JSON deserialization.
• .NET HTTP API Integrations - Provides a streamlined, fluent API for .NET applications to execute asynchronous web requests and handle JSON responses.
• Asynchronous Request Execution - Performs non-blocking network requests using asynchronous patterns, supporting custom verbs and JSON payloads.
• Fluent Request Builders - Provides a stateful request builder that accumulates configuration through method chaining before executing the request.
• Network and API Mocking - Intercepts outgoing HTTP requests and provides canned responses to enable isolated unit testing.
• Network Traffic Interception - Includes a dedicated mocking framework that intercepts outgoing network traffic to return predefined responses for isolated testing.
• HTTP Mocking - Simulates HTTP server responses by intercepting outgoing traffic to isolate application logic during testing.
• URL Manipulation Toolsets - Provides a complete toolset for parsing, validating, and merging URL segments with guaranteed correct encoding.
• Fluent URL Builders - Offers a chainable API for constructing complex URLs with paths, query parameters, and fragments.
• REST API Clients - Simplifies the consumption of REST APIs by managing authentication tokens, custom headers, and JSON serialization.
• HTTP Client Configurations - Provides configuration options for the low-level HTTP pipeline, including the use of delegating handlers.
• HTTP Request Configurations - Allows configuration of request metadata including custom headers, timeouts, and cancellation tokens.
• Request Object Extensions - Allows developers to add custom chainable methods to request objects to standardize API call configurations.
• Client Instance Pooling - Implements a client pooling mechanism to reuse HTTP connections and prevent socket exhaustion.
• Extension Methods - Extensively uses .NET extension methods to add fluent functionality to existing URL and request types.
• Custom JSON Serializers - Allows the replacement of default JSON conversion logic with custom serializers for flexible data handling.
• Request Authentications - Supports the attachment of Basic authentication credentials and OAuth bearer tokens to outgoing requests.
• Handler Middlewares - Provides a pipeline of handler middlewares to implement cross-cutting concerns like logging for HTTP requests.
• HTTP Lifecycle Hooks - Executes custom logic via lifecycle hooks at various stages of the HTTP request and response process.
• Fluent URL Extensions - Enables the addition of custom chainable methods to address types for specialized network URI construction.
• HTTP Error Handling - Provides structured error handling that throws exceptions for 4xx and 5xx status codes.
• Segment Combination - Ships a utility to merge multiple URL segments while ensuring correct separator character placement.
• URL Data Parsing - Decomposes raw URL strings into structured components such as scheme, authority, path, and query.
• URL Encoding Libraries - Handles the encoding of illegal characters in URL paths and query strings to ensure web compatibility.
• API Development - Fluent URL builder and testable HTTP client.
