nestfulvssuperagent
Nestful is a Ruby library for making HTTP requests. It is designed to provide a simple, easy-to-use interface for making requests and handling responses. Nestful is often used for making requests to RESTful APIs.
One of the main features of Nestful is its ability to automatically parse JSON and XML responses and return them as Ruby objects. This allows developers to easily access the data returned by an API without having to manually parse the response.
Netful is aimed at interacting with rest APIs and provides a convenient interface (see example below)
superagent 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.
what differentiates superagent from other http clients is its simple declarative API.

Example Use
require 'nestful'
# GET request
response = Nestful.get('http://httpbin.org/get')
puts response.body
puts response.code

# POST request
response = Nestful.post(
'http://httpbin.org/post',
:format => :json, :payload => { :title => 'foo', :body => 'bar', :userId => 1 }
)
puts response.body
# establish interface to a specific API
class Charge < Nestful::Resource
endpoint 'https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges'
options :auth_type => :bearer, :password => 'sk_bar'
def self.all
self.new(get)
end
def self.find(id)
self.new(get(id))
end
def refund
post(:refund)
end
end
Charge.all #=> []
Charge.find('ch_bar').amount
const superagent = require('superagent');
// superagent supports both Promises and async/await
superagent.get('https://httpbin.org/get')
.then(res => console.log(res.text))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
const response = superagent.get('https://httpbin.org/get')
// post requests:
superagent.post('https://httpbin.org/post').send({ name: 'John Doe' })
// setting proxy
superagent.get('https://httpbin.org/ip').proxy('http://proxy.example.com:8080')
// settings headers and proxies
superagent.get('https://httpbin.org/headers').set('Cookie', 'myCookie=123').set('X-My-Header', 'myValue')
