needle is an HTTP client library for Node.js that provides a simple, flexible, and powerful API for making HTTP requests. It supports all major HTTP methods and has a clean and easy-to-use interface for handling responses and errors.

Symfony-http is a PHP library that provides a set of classes for working with HTTP requests and responses. It is part of the Symfony CMS framework, but can also be used independently.

Example Use


const needle = require('needle');

// needle supports both Promises and async/await
needle.get('https://httpbin.org/get', (err, res) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }
    console.log(res.body);
});

const response = await needle.get('https://httpbin.org/get')

// concurrent requests can be sent using Promise.all
const results = await Promise.all([
  needle.get('http://httpbin.org/html'),
  needle.get('http://httpbin.org/html'),
  needle.get('http://httpbin.org/html'),
])

// POST requests
const data = { name: 'John Doe' };
await needle.post('https://api.example.com', data)

// proxy
const options = {
    proxy: 'http://proxy.example.com:8080'
};
await needle.get('https://httpbin.org/ip', options)

// headers and cookies
const options = {
  headers: {
      'Cookie': 'myCookie=123',
      'X-My-Header': 'myValue'
  }
};
await needle.get('https://httpbin.org/headers', options)
<?php
use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;

// create a client object: 
$client = HttpClient::create();
// sent GET request
$response = $client->request('GET', 'https://httpbin.org/get');


// or POST request
$response = $client->request('POST', 'https://httpbin.org/post', [
    'headers' => [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    ],
    'json' => [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'email' => 'john.doe@example.com',
    ],
]);

// print response data:
$statusCode = $response->getStatusCode();
$content = $response->getContent();
echo "Status Code: $statusCode\n";
echo "Content: $content\n";
