HTTPx is a Python HTTP client library that provides a more modern alternative to the standard Python library's http.client.
HTTPx is designed to work asynchronously, making it well-suited for high-performance, asynchronous web applications and APIs.
Some key features of HTTPx include:
-
Asynchronous Support: HTTPx is built on top of Python's asyncio framework, enabling it to perform non-blocking I/O operations and support asynchronous programming patterns. This makes it efficient for handling multiple requests concurrently.
-
HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 Support: HTTPx supports both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols, allowing it to leverage the benefits of HTTP/2 where available, such as multiplexing and header compression.
-
Connection Pooling: HTTPx maintains a connection pool, which can help reduce the overhead of establishing new connections for subsequent requests to the same host.
-
Streaming and File Uploads: It provides support for streaming requests and responses, as well as handling large file uploads efficiently.
-
Custom Headers and Authentication: HTTPx allows you to set custom headers and supports various authentication methods like Basic, Digest, and OAuth.
-
Cookie Persistence: It includes support for cookies, enabling you to manage sessions and handle stateful interactions with web services.
HTTPx is commonly used in Python web frameworks and applications that require high-performance HTTP communication, especially in scenarios where asynchronous programming is essential to scale concurrent operations.

I don't care that they stole my idea... I care that they don't have any of their own.
