NotoriousClient
A strongly-typed, extensible HTTP client for .NET with a fluent request builder, supporting JSON, multipart, and streaming.
Overview
Notorious Client is a .NET library designed to simplify HTTP request creation through a fluent builder pattern and an extensible client system. It aims to provide a clear, maintainable, and testable way to build API clients, leveraging .NET's HttpRequestMessage for robust HTTP communication.
Key Features
- Fluent Request Builder — Enables easy construction of HttpRequestMessage with method chaining for parameters, headers, and authentication.
- Multipart & Streaming Support — Facilitates building multipart/form-data requests and supports streaming content as request bodies.
- JSON Serialization — Provides built-in JSON body serialization using System.Text.Json, with options for custom serializers.
- Extensible Client System — Allows infinite customization through base client inheritance for adding pre-configured logic like authentication.
- Authentication Handling — Simplifies adding various authentication schemes, including Basic, Bearer, and custom implementations.
Philosophy
Notorious Client is built to offer a maintainable and testable approach to API client development, emphasizing extensibility and clarity without sacrificing performance.
