RestLess
A compile-time generated, reflection-free REST API client library for .NET Standard, focused on performance and type safety.
What is RestLess?
RestLess is a type-safe REST API client library for .NET Standard that generates client code at compile time, eliminating runtime reflection overhead for improved performance. It provides a clean, declarative interface for defining API endpoints using attributes, similar to Refit, but with a focus on speed and minimal dependencies.
.NET developers building high-performance applications, especially on resource-constrained devices like mobile or IoT, who need a fast, type-safe REST client with minimal runtime overhead.
Developers choose RestLess over alternatives like Refit for its compile-time code generation, which significantly improves startup and execution speed by avoiding runtime reflection, and for its minimal core dependencies, allowing for greater customization and lighter deployments.
