An idiomatic Clojure HTTP client wrapping JDK 11's HttpClient, supporting HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and WebSockets.
What is hato?
hato is an HTTP client library for Clojure that wraps JDK 11's built-in HttpClient. It provides an idiomatic Clojure API for making HTTP requests, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous operations, HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols, and WebSocket connections. It solves the need for a modern, feature-rich HTTP client in Clojure that leverages the standard Java library.
Clojure developers building applications that need to make HTTP requests to external APIs or services, especially those requiring HTTP/2, async handling, or WebSocket support.
Developers choose hato for its clean Clojure API, seamless integration with JDK 11's HttpClient, and comprehensive feature set including async support, WebSockets, and response coercion—all without external dependencies beyond optional JSON/Transit libraries.
