RestEase is a type-safe REST API client library for .NET, where you define an interface describing the remote endpoints and RestEase generates the implementation. It is built on HttpClient, highly customizable, and inspired by Refit.

Use cases

• call a REST API from C# with type-safe interface methods
• generate an HTTP client from an interface definition in .NET
• consume third-party REST endpoints without writing boilerplate HttpClient code
• customize serialization and request building for a .NET API client
• use a REST client on platforms without runtime code generation like iOS or .NET Native

When to choose

• you want a Refit-style declarative REST client in .NET
• you need fine-grained control and customization over requests while keeping type safety
• you target .NET Framework 4.5.2+ or .NET Standard 1.1+
• you need source-generation support for AOT platforms

When to avoid

• you need a client for non-REST protocols like gRPC or GraphQL
• you prefer writing HttpClient calls directly with full manual control
• your project is not on the .NET platform
