A generics-first HTTP client wrapper for Go, built on top of the amazing `github.com/imroc/req/v3` library.
It keeps req's power and escape hatches, while making the 90% use case feel effortless.

## What is httpx?

**httpx** is a modern, ergonomic HTTP client for Go.

It builds on top of the amazing [`req`](https://github.com/imroc/req) library, preserving its flexibility while dramatically reducing boilerplate for common use cases. You get clean defaults, strong typing, and an API designed to stay out of your way.

Think of it as *the 90% solution* - powerful enough for real-world systems, without sacrificing clarity or control.

## Quick Start

```go
type Request struct {
    Uuid string `json:"uuid"`
}

// request, binds result to Request
res, _ := httpx.Get[Request](httpx.New(), "https://httpbin.org/uuid")

httpx.Dump(res)
// #main.Request {
//   +Uuid => "6101eccc-8f59-444f-9ccc-9c39a85d5da5" #string
// }
```

## Installation

```bash
go get github.com/goforj/httpx/v2
```

## Design Principles

* **Simple by default** - minimal configuration for common cases
* **Composable** - everything is opt-in and chainable
* **Predictable** - no hidden behavior or magic
* **Typed** - first-class generics with zero reflection
* **Escape hatches included** - full access to `req` when needed

## When to Use httpx

Use httpx when you want:

* A clean, expressive HTTP client without boilerplate
* Strong typing without fighting the type system
* Easy composition of headers, params, and behavior
* A smooth path from simple requests to advanced control

If you’re comfortable with `net/http` or `req`, httpx will feel immediately familiar - just faster to write and easier to read.

## Debugging and Tracing

- `HTTP_TRACE=1` enables request/response dumps for all requests.
- `httpx.EnableDump()` enables dump for a single request.
- `httpx.DumpEachRequest()` enables per-request dumps on a client.

## Documentation

The full API reference below is generated directly from source and always reflects the current codebase.

All runnable examples live in [`./examples`](./examples) and are generated from doc comments.

They are compiled and executed in CI to ensure the documentation stays accurate and up to date.

## v2 Status

httpx v1 has been tagged and is now frozen. The current module path is `github.com/goforj/httpx/v2`, and the `main` branch includes intentional breaking changes to improve API clarity and ergonomics (for example, request helpers return `(T, error)`).

## Development

Use `make test` for the test suite, `make vet` for static checks, and `make generate` to refresh generated documentation. Keep examples and documentation accurate with behavior changes.

c := httpx.New(httpx.RetryBackoff(100*time.Millisecond, 2*time.Second))
res, _ := httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid")

// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }

// Apply to a single request

httpx.Dump(res) // dumps map[string]any
// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }

Overrides the default behavior (retry only when a request error occurs).

```go

	return resp != nil && resp.StatusCode == 503
}))

httpx.Dump(res) // dumps map[string]any
// map[string]interface {}(nil)
```

### <a id="retrycount"></a>RetryCount

RetryCount enables retry for a request and sets the maximum retry count.
Default behavior from req: retries are disabled (count = 0). When enabled,
retries happen only on request errors unless RetryCondition is set, and the
default interval is a fixed 100ms between attempts.

```go
// Apply to all requests
c := httpx.New(httpx.RetryCount(2))
res, _ := httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid")
httpx.Dump(res) // dumps map[string]any
// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }

// Apply to a single request
res, _ = httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid", httpx.RetryCount(2))

// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }

// Apply to a single request
res, _ = httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid", httpx.RetryFixedInterval(200*time.Millisecond))

// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }
```

### <a id="retryhook"></a>RetryHook

RetryHook registers a retry hook for a request.
Runs before each retry attempt; no hooks are configured by default.

```go
// Apply to all requests
c := httpx.New(httpx.RetryHook(func(_ *req.Response, _ error) {}))
res, _ := httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid")
httpx.Dump(res) // dumps map[string]any
// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }

// Apply to a single request
res, _ = httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid", httpx.RetryHook(func(_ *req.Response, _ error) {}))

// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }
```

### <a id="retryinterval"></a>RetryInterval

RetryInterval sets a custom retry interval function for a request.
Overrides the req default interval (fixed 100ms).

```go
// Apply to all requests
c := httpx.New(httpx.RetryInterval(func(_ *req.Response, attempt int) time.Duration {
	return time.Duration(attempt) * 100 * time.Millisecond
}))
res, _ := httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid")
httpx.Dump(res) // dumps map[string]any
// #map[string]interface {} {
//   uuid => "<uuid>" #string
// }

// Apply to a single request
res, _ = httpx.Get[map[string]any](c, "https://httpbin.org/uuid", httpx.RetryInterval(func(_ *req.Response, attempt int) time.Duration {
	return time.Duration(attempt) * 100 * time.Millisecond
}))
