GRequests is a Go library that wraps net/http with a convenient, Python Requests-style API. It provides helpers for all HTTP verbs, JSON/XML parsing, file uploads, context-aware cancellation, and cookie-reusing sessions.
Use cases
- make http requests in go with a simple requests-like api
- download files from a url in go
- upload files via multipart post requests
- call a rest api and decode the response
- reuse cookies across requests with a session
- cancel in-flight http requests with context
When to choose
- you want Python Requests ergonomics in Go without boilerplate
- you need quick JSON/XML API clients with minimal setup
- you need simple file upload/download helpers on top of net/http
When to avoid
- you need fine-grained low-level control over net/http internals
- you prefer a fully typed generated client from an OpenAPI spec
- you need advanced features like automatic retries or circuit breaking
