Unirest Reviews

Unirest Description

Unirest is a collection of lightweight HTTP libraries that are available in multiple languages. It was created and maintained by Kong who also maintains the open source API Gateway Kong. Install the npm module to use Unirest for node.js. Unirest makes it easier to create requests. Unirest supports gzip and can parse responses. You can also start with basic examples. To initiate a request, invoke the appropriate method on Unirest object and then call.end() to send it. You can also send the request directly by sending a callback with the URL. This provides simple and straightforward methods to manipulate the request before it is sent. This object is created when Unirest is invoked. This object has methods that can be chained like other libraries, such as jQuery or the popular request module Superagent (which is slightly modeled after this library).
