Requests is frozen—this adds HTTP/3 and async without breaking your code.
Strengths
- •HTTP/3 over QUIC support where httpx and aiohttp both lack it
- •True drop-in replacement—existing Requests code works without changes
- •DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-QUIC, and DNSSEC built into the HTTP client
Weaknesses
- •Fork means potential drift from upstream Requests security patches
- •Smaller community than httpx for async-specific troubleshooting
