## What it is
Zttp is a PHP library that wraps Guzzle to provide a simpler, more pleasant developer experience for making HTTP requests. It offers a fluent API for common use cases like sending JSON requests, adding headers, and parsing responses.

## Use cases
- make simple http requests in php
- send  post requests with headers
- get  responses from an api
- wrap guzzle with a nicer api
- check http response status codes easily

## When to choose
- you want a simple, readable http client for common requests in php
- you find guzzle's api too verbose for basic use cases

## When to avoid
- you need advanced http client features like async promises, middleware, or streaming
- you are starting a new project - consider Laravel's HTTP client or Guzzle directly, as this project is no longer actively developed

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, apis
- platform: php
