RestSharp is a lightweight HTTP API client library. It's a wrapper around HttpClient, not a full-fledged client on
its own.
What RestSharp adds to HttpClient:
- Default parameters of any kind, not just headers
- Add a parameter of any kind to requests, like query, URL segment, header, cookie, or body
- Multiple ways to add a request body, including JSON, XML, URL-encoded form data, multipart form data with and without files
- Built-in serialization and deserilization of JSON, XML, and CSV, as well as the ability to add custom serializers
- Rich support for authentication
RestSharp 107 was a major release that brings a lot of changes. We've removed a lot of legacy code and added new
features. Finally, RestSharp has moved to HttpClient. We also deprecated the following:
- SimpleJson in favour of
System.Text.Json.JsonSerialzer IRestRequest, andIRestResponsein favour of implementing classes- Everything
HttpandIHttpas those are just wrappers - Client configuration moved to
RestClientOptionsto make the client thread-safe IRestClientinterface surface substantially reduced
Most of the client and some of the request options are now in RestClientOptions.
Check v107+ docs for more information.
