Centra HTTP Client

Centra is a lightweight, promise-based HTTP client specifically designed for Node.js environments. It emphasizes a minimal API surface while providing core functionalities like JSON/form body sending, query parameters, custom headers, timeouts, and response streaming. Currently at version 2.7.0, Centra focuses on developer control and efficiency, offering a lean alternative to more feature-rich clients like Axios or Node-fetch. Its primary differentiator is its small footprint and direct interaction with Node's built-in `http` and `https` modules, making it suitable for performance-critical applications or environments where bundle size is a concern. While it provides a fluent API for common tasks, it also allows direct modification of Node's core HTTP request options for advanced use cases. Release cadence appears to be on-demand rather than fixed, with updates driven by feature needs and bug fixes.
