clj-http is an idiomatic Clojure HTTP client library that wraps the Apache HttpComponents client. It is the officially supported version of the popular clj-http library with a large ecosystem of dependents.

Use cases

• make HTTP requests from Clojure code
• call REST APIs from a Clojure application
• download files over HTTP in a JVM project
• send multipart form uploads from Clojure
• handle redirects, cookies, and caching in HTTP calls
• consume JSON APIs from a Clojure backend

When to choose

• you are writing Clojure or ClojureScript-on-JVM code that needs an HTTP client
• you want an idiomatic Clojure API over the battle-tested Apache HttpComponents client
• you need a mature, widely-used library with extensive community dependents

When to avoid

• you are not on the JVM and need a pure ClojureScript client
• you prefer a non-blocking async-first client like http-kit or clj-http-lite alternatives
• you want to avoid pulling in the Apache HttpComponents dependency tree
