## What it is
A Rust library providing common HTTP types such as Request, Response, StatusCode, HeaderMap, and Method. It serves as the shared foundation used by the Rust HTTP ecosystem including hyper, tonic, and axum.

## Use cases
- represent http requests and responses in rust
- build http request with headers and uri
- parse and manipulate http headers
- share http types across rust web frameworks
- construct http responses with status codes

## When to choose
- you need canonical HTTP types in a Rust project
- you are building an HTTP client, server, or middleware library
- you want a lightweight, no-runtime-dependency HTTP type layer

## When to avoid
- you need an actual HTTP client or server implementation
- you want a full web framework with routing and handlers
- you are not working in Rust

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: http-client, http-server, serialization
- domain: web-development, apis, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: http-types, request-response, builder-pattern, no-runtime
