Wojtek Mach - Req, a batteries-included HTTP client for Elixir | Elixir Community Krakow
Wojtek Mach / Dashbit
Req is a batteries-included HTTP client, ready to use out of the box. Req contains features that most developers would likely want to use most of the time. To name a few, it can automatically decompress and decode responses, follow redirects, retry on errors, etc. Req also has "replaceable batteries", and virtually all of its features are defined as distinct functions called steps. Developers can easily reuse or rearrange built-in steps or write new ones. In this talk, we'll briefly see how Req compares to other popular HTTP clients and see its main features and extensibility in action.
