deboa

Description

deboa is a straightforward, non opinionated, developer-centric HTTP client library for Rust. It offers a rich array of modern features—from flexible authentication and serialization formats to runtime compatibility and middleware support—while maintaining simplicity and ease of use. It’s especially well-suited for Rust projects that require a lightweight, efficient HTTP client without sacrificing control or extensibility.

Attention

This release has a major api change. Please check the migration guide for more information.

Features

• easily add, remove and update headers
• helpers to add basic and bearer auth
• set base url only once, change it when needed
• request data only by specifying path
• set retries and timeout
• pluggable catchers (interceptors)
• pluggable compression (gzip, deflate, br)
• pluggable serialization (json, xml, msgpack)
• bora macro to easily create api clients
• cookies support
• comprehensive error handling
• runtime compatibility (tokio and smol)
• http1/2 support

Usage

use deboa::{Deboa, request::get};
use deboa_extras::http::serde::json::JsonBody;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), DeboaError> {
  let client = Deboa::new();

  /* 
  You can also use the Fetch trait to issue requests
  
  let posts: Vec<Post> = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
    .fetch(client)
    .await?
    .body_as(JsonBody)?;    

  or use at, from (defaults to GET) and to (defaults to POST) methods:

  let posts: Vec<Post> = at("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", http::Method::GET)?
    .go(client)
    .await?
    .body_as(JsonBody)?;

  shifleft? Yes sir! Defaults to GET, but you can change it, same for headers.

  let request = client << "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts";
  let posts: Vec<Post> = client.execute(request)
    .await?
    .body_as(JsonBody)?;
  */

  let posts: Vec<Post> = get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts")?
    .go(client)
    .await?
    .body_as(JsonBody)?;

  println!("posts: {:#?}", posts);

  Ok(())
}
