●●●BangerSolve My ProblemDark Horse
Finally, HTTP/3 and async in a requests-compatible library after years of feature freeze.
Strengths
- •Drop-in replacement means zero code changes for existing requests-based applications
- •HTTP/3 over QUIC support puts it ahead of httpx and far ahead of stagnant requests
- •Three years of active development with 2.2k stars shows real production commitment
Weaknesses
- •Fork maintenance burden if upstream requests ever resumes active development
- •Smaller community ecosystem compared to requests' decade of third-party extensions
