Unirest: Polyglot Lightweight HTTP Request Client Libraries (unirest.io)

Why would you choose this over requests for python?

The java code is a little simpler than what you'd get with a jax-rs client, but not by much.

The Python version looks pretty similar to what you'd get with requests. Its almost like this is a clone of requests. Really not much incentive to use this over requests.

Make a rust version and you are my hero

I had been running some unit tests in node with the built in http module, but the superagent-like syntax used here just "feels better". Thanks!
