Resty is a simple HTTP, REST, and SSE client library for Go with a fluent API. It provides middleware, retries with backoff, circuit breaking, redirects, digest authentication, HTTP tracing, and curl command generation.

Use cases

• make HTTP requests in Go
• call REST APIs from a Go application
• consume server-sent events (SSE) in Go
• retry failed HTTP requests with exponential backoff
• add middleware to HTTP requests in Go
• generate curl commands from requests
• authenticate with digest auth in Go

When to choose

• you want a friendlier, higher-level HTTP client than net/http in Go
• you need built-in retries, backoff, and circuit breaking
• you need SSE client support
• you want request/response middleware and tracing

When to avoid

• you only need basic requests and prefer the standard library net/http
• you need a full gRPC or GraphQL client
• you are not working in Go
