sttp: the Scala HTTP client that you always wanted!
summary
Sttp provides a Scala HTTP client with immutable request templates and a unified API that decouples request description from execution; it works with multiple backends (Java HttpURLConnection, Akka HTTP, AsyncHttpClient, Monix) to offer both blocking and async execution and backend-specific streaming types. URI string interpolation auto-encodes and expands optional/query/path params, request types prevent sending partial requests, response handling includes safe Either results, and a stub backend enables deterministic tests — the live demo shows these features compiling and running.
