## What it is
Netling is a fast, lightweight load testing client for web testing, available as a WPF GUI, console client, or embeddable .NET library. It uses raw sockets or HttpClient workers to generate high request throughput with minimal CPU and memory usage.

## Use cases
- load test a web endpoint
- benchmark http server throughput
- stress test an api before release
- measure requests per second of a website
- run quick performance checks from the console
- embed a load tester into a custom .net tool

## When to choose
- you need a fast, low-overhead load tester on Windows or .NET
- you want both a GUI and console load testing option
- you want to fork and customize a simple load testing tool

## When to avoid
- you need distributed or cloud-scale load testing
- you need advanced scripting, assertions, or CI integrations out of the box
- your server does not support keep-alive connections with the default socket worker
