A lightweight Java library that wraps HttpURLConnection with a fluent interface for making HTTP requests, including multipart support. It is a single dependency-free class available on Maven Central.
Use cases
- make http requests in java without dependencies
- simple rest client for android
- wrap httpurlconnection with a fluent api
- send multipart file uploads in java
- copy a single-file http client into a project
When to choose
- you want zero dependencies and a single class
- you are targeting Android and prefer HttpURLConnection
- you need simple synchronous GET/POST/multipart requests
When to avoid
- you need asynchronous requests
- you need advanced features like connection pooling or HTTP/2
- you prefer a maintained full-featured client like OkHttp or Apache HttpComponents
