+# httpx - Next Generation HTTP Client for Python
+
+## Overview
+
+**httpx** is a fully-featured HTTP client library for Python 3 that provides both synchronous and asynchronous APIs. It is designed as a next-generation alternative to the popular `requests` library, offering HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 support, true async capabilities, and a broadly compatible API while introducing modern improvements.
+
+**Official Repository:** <https://github.com/encode/httpx> @ encode/httpx **Documentation:** <https://www.python-httpx.org/> @ python-httpx.org **PyPI Package:** `httpx` @ pypi.org/project/httpx **License:** BSD-3-Clause @ github.com/encode/httpx **Current Version:** 0.28.1 (as of December 2024) @ pypi.org **Maintenance Status:** Actively maintained, 14,652+ GitHub stars @ github.com/encode/httpx
+
+## Core Purpose
+
+### Problem httpx Solves
+
+1. **Async HTTP Support:** Provides native async/await support for HTTP requests, eliminating the need for separate libraries like `aiohttp` @ python-httpx.org/async
+2. **HTTP/2 Protocol:** Full HTTP/2 support with connection multiplexing and server push @ python-httpx.org/http2
+3. **Modern Python Standards:** Built for Python 3.9+ with full type annotations and modern async patterns @ github.com/encode/httpx/pyproject.toml
+4. **Consistent Sync/Async API:** Single library that works for both synchronous and asynchronous code @ python-httpx.org
+
+### What Would Be "Reinventing the Wheel"
+
+Without httpx, you would need to:
+
+- Use separate libraries for sync (`requests`) and async (`aiohttp`) HTTP operations @ towardsdatascience.com
+- Implement HTTP/2 support manually or use lower-level libraries @ python-httpx.org/http2
+- Manage different API patterns between sync and async code @ python-httpx.org/async
+- Handle connection pooling and timeout configuration separately for each library @ python-httpx.org/advanced
+
+## When to Use httpx
+
+### Use httpx When
+
+1. **Async HTTP Required:** You need asynchronous HTTP requests in an async application (FastAPI, asyncio, Trio) @ python-httpx.org/async
+2. **HTTP/2 Support Needed:** Your application benefits from HTTP/2 features like multiplexing @ python-httpx.org/http2
+3. **Both Sync and Async:** You want one library that handles both synchronous and asynchronous patterns @ python-httpx.org
+4. **ASGI/WSGI Testing:** You need to make requests directly to ASGI or WSGI applications without network @ python-httpx.org/advanced/transports
+5. **Modern Type Safety:** You require full type annotations and modern Python tooling support @ github.com/encode/httpx
+6. **Strict Timeouts:** You need proper timeout handling by default (httpx has timeouts everywhere) @ python-httpx.org/quickstart
+
+### Use requests When
+
+1. **Simple Sync-Only Application:** You only need synchronous HTTP and don't require async @ python-httpx.org/compatibility
+2. **Legacy Python Support:** You need to support Python 3.7 or earlier @ github.com/encode/httpx/pyproject.toml
+3. **Broad Ecosystem Compatibility:** You rely on requests-specific plugins or tools @ python-httpx.org/compatibility
+4. **Auto-Redirects Preferred:** You want automatic redirect following by default (httpx requires explicit opt-in) @ python-httpx.org/quickstart
+
+### Use aiohttp When
+
+1. **Server + Client Together:** You need both HTTP server and client in one library @ medium.com/featurepreneur
+2. **WebSocket Support:** You need built-in WebSocket client support (httpx requires httpx-ws extension) @ github.com/frankie567/httpx-ws
+3. **Existing aiohttp Codebase:** You have significant investment in aiohttp-specific features @ medium.com/featurepreneur

+```
+
+### Client Instance with Configuration @ python-httpx.org/advanced/clients
+
+```python
+import httpx
+
+# Create configured client
+client = httpx.Client(
+    base_url='https://api.example.com',
+    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer token123'},
+    timeout=30.0,
+    follow_redirects=True
+)
+
+try:
+    # Make requests using the client
+    response = client.get('/users/me')
+    response.raise_for_status()
+    print(response.json())
+finally:
+    client.close()
+
+# Context manager (automatic cleanup)
+with httpx.Client(base_url='https://api.example.com') as client:
+    response = client.get('/data')
+```
+
+### HTTP/2 Support @ python-httpx.org/http2
+
+```python
+import httpx
+
+# Enable HTTP/2
+client = httpx.Client(http2=True)
+
+try:
+    response = client.get('https://www.google.com')
+    print(response.extensions['http_version'])  # b'HTTP/2'
+finally:
+    client.close()
+
+# Async HTTP/2
+async with httpx.AsyncClient(http2=True) as client:
+    response = await client.get('https://www.google.com')
+    print(response.extensions['http_version'])
+```
+
+### Streaming Responses @ python-httpx.org/quickstart
+
+```python
+import httpx
+
+# Stream bytes
+with httpx.stream("GET", "https://www.example.com/large-file") as response:
+    for chunk in response.iter_bytes(chunk_size=8192):
+        process_chunk(chunk)
+
+# Stream lines
+with httpx.stream("GET", "https://www.example.com/log") as response:
+    for line in response.iter_lines():
+        print(line)
+
+# Conditional loading
+with httpx.stream("GET", "https://www.example.com/file") as response:
+    if int(response.headers['Content-Length']) < 10_000_000:  # 10MB
+        content = response.read()
+        print(content)
+```
+
+### Error Handling @ python-httpx.org/quickstart
+
+```python
+import httpx
+
+try:
+    response = httpx.get("https://www.example.com/")
+    response.raise_for_status()  # Raises HTTPStatusError for 4xx/5xx
+except httpx.RequestError as exc:
+    print(f"Network error: {exc.request.url}")
+except httpx.HTTPStatusError as exc:
+    print(f"HTTP error {exc.response.status_code}: {exc.request.url}")
+except httpx.HTTPError as exc:
+    print(f"General HTTP error: {exc}")
+```
+
+### Authentication @ python-httpx.org/quickstart
+
+```python
+import httpx
+
+# Basic authentication
+response = httpx.get(
+    "https://example.com",
+    auth=("username", "password")
+)
+
+# Digest authentication
+auth = httpx.DigestAuth("username", "password")
+response = httpx.get("https://example.com", auth=auth)
+
+# Bearer token
+headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer token123"}
+response = httpx.get("https://api.example.com", headers=headers)
+```
+
+## When NOT to Use httpx
+
+### Scenarios Where httpx May Not Be Suitable
+
+1. **Python 3.8 or Earlier Required** @ github.com/encode/httpx/pyproject.toml
+   - httpx requires Python 3.9+
+   - Use `requests` for older Python versions
+
+2. **Simple Scripts with Minimal Dependencies** @ python-httpx.org/compatibility
+   - If you only need basic HTTP GET/POST in a simple script
+   - `requests` has fewer dependencies and simpler API
+   - httpx pulls in additional dependencies (httpcore, anyio, sniffio)
+
+3. **requests Plugin Ecosystem Required** @ python-httpx.org/compatibility
+   - Libraries specifically built for requests (requests-oauthlib, etc.)
+   - May not have httpx equivalents
+   - Consider staying with requests if heavily invested in plugins
+
+4. **Need WebSocket Built-in** @ github.com/frankie567/httpx-ws
+   - httpx requires separate httpx-ws extension
+   - aiohttp has built-in WebSocket support
+
+5. **Auto-Redirect Preference** @ python-httpx.org/quickstart
+   - httpx does NOT follow redirects by default (security-conscious design)
+   - Requires explicit `follow_redirects=True`
+   - requests follows redirects automatically
+
+6. **Server + Client in One Library** @ medium.com/featurepreneur
+   - httpx is client-only
+   - Use aiohttp or starlette if you need both server and client
+
+## Key Differences from requests
+
+### API Compatibility @ python-httpx.org/compatibility
+
+httpx provides broad compatibility with requests, but with key differences:
+
+```python
+# requests: Auto-redirects by default
+requests.get('http://github.com/')  # Follows to HTTPS
+
+# httpx: Explicit redirect handling
+httpx.get('http://github.com/', follow_redirects=True)
+
+# requests: No timeouts by default
+requests.get('https://example.com')
+
+# httpx: 5-second default timeout
+httpx.get('https://example.com')  # 5s timeout
+
+# requests: Session object
+session = requests.Session()
+
+# httpx: Client object
+client = httpx.Client()
+```
+
+### Modern Improvements @ python-httpx.org
+
+1. **Type Safety:** Full type annotations throughout @ github.com/encode/httpx
+2. **Async Native:** Built-in async/await support @ python-httpx.org/async
+3. **Strict Timeouts:** Timeouts everywhere by default @ python-httpx.org/quickstart
+4. **HTTP/2:** Optional HTTP/2 protocol support @ python-httpx.org/http2
+5. **Better Encoding:** UTF-8 default encoding vs latin1 in requests @ python-httpx.org/compatibility
