About

As described in the title, direwolf is a library written in Golang and is dedicated to the convenient and easy to use HTTP client.

When I first knew about Golang, I was surprised by its powerful Goroutine and complete support for network programming.But I also found that Golang does not have a relatively complete library similar to the Requests in Python. The native net/http is pretty good, but it always needs many annoying steps to set a simple configuration while sending a request.

In the third-part libraries, it seems that most people are more concerned about performance than the ease of use, such as very powerful library fasthttp.

But I think that ease of use is also important. This is my original intention to develop direwolf.

正如标题所描述的那样,direwolf 是一个使用 Golang 编写的,致力于简单易用的 HTTP 客户端。

当我在刚接触 Golang 时,惊喜于其强大的 Goroutine 功能和完善的对网络编程的支持,但是我同时也发现,Golang 还没有一个比较完善的类似于 Python 中的 Requests 一样的库。原生的 net/http 虽然很不错,但是在发起网络请求时,常常一个简单的设置需要非常多麻烦的步骤来实现。

在第三方库中,好像大部分人也更关注性能,而不是易用性,例如非常厉害的 fasthttp

但我认为,易用性同样也非常重要,这是我开发 direwolf 的初衷。
