Faraday — your HTTP client on Rack

Faraday is an HTTP client lib that provides a common interface over many adapters (such as Net::HTTP) and embraces the concept of Rack middleware when processing the request/response cycle.

For talking to APIs in a secure way (HTTPS), see Setting up SSL certificates.

2012 will be the year of Faraday. Check out the Roadmap.

Middleware

Apart from bundled request/response middleware that comes with Faraday, these 3rd-party project provide extra middleware:

• faraday_middleware (oauth requests, response parsing, caching, and more)
• faraday-stack (follow redirects, response parsing, and other) – deprecated in favor of faraday_middleware
• faraday_yaml (YAML request/response parsing)

Projects using Faraday

• oauth2
• dm-faraday-adapter (experimental)
