## What it is
Mint is a functional, low-level HTTP client library for Elixir supporting HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. It uses a process-less architecture where connections are immutable data structures wrapping TCP/SSL sockets, giving developers full control over concurrency and connection handling.

## Use cases
- make http requests from elixir
- http/2 client for elixir
- manage multiple http connections in one process
- low-level control over http connections
- build a custom http client or pool on top of raw connections

## When to avoid
- you just want a simple high-level request/response client like Req or HTTPoison
- you don't want to handle raw TCP/SSL socket messages yourself

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-client
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: elixir
- tags: http2, http1, process-less, functional, low-level
