Switon's JSON-first HTTP client for application services that need typed failures, lifecycle events, pooled host reuse, and response helpers.

Highlights
----------

[](#highlights)

- **Pooled host reuse:** repeated calls to the same host reuse the same pooled engine setup.
- **Single client entrypoint:** `HttpClientInterface` gives app services one injectable HTTP client.
- **JSON-friendly defaults:** shortcut methods and response parsing fit API-style calls.
- **Raw request support:** non-JSON requests can still use the same client path.
- **Layered failures:** transport, status, and parsing errors are separated.
- **Request tuning:** timeout, proxy, TLS, CA, and pool size settings are centralized.
- **Lifecycle visibility:** request activity is exposed through client events.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require switon/http-client
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Switon\Core\Attribute\Autowired;
use Switon\HttpClient\HttpClientInterface;

class UserService

    public function createUser(array $data): array
    {
        return $this->httpClient
            ->post('https://api.example.com/users', $data)
            ->json();
    }
}
```
