README

minreq

A minimalistic request library for node.

Why?

The most common library used to perform HTTP(S)-requests in node is request. While it works, it has a lot of features that aren't needed in most cases (eg. cookies, oauth). Besides, the code isn't as fast as it can be. This project is intended to replace request in cases where it's simply too heavy.

Features

  • request like api
  • lightweight (compared to this lib, request is a giant)
  • provides a callback that's called when a response was received (like request)
  • works as a stream (Stream#pipe is supported)
  • forwards events
  • follows redirects
