rest.js HTTP Client

rest.js is an HTTP client library designed for both browser and Node.js environments, emphasizing extensibility through its interceptor-based architecture. It provides core functionality for making HTTP requests and normalizing request/response objects, with advanced features like MIME type conversion, error handling, and hypermedia API traversal implemented as composable interceptors. The current stable version is 2.0.0, which notably moved from a hard dependency on `when.js` to native ES6 Promises and completely dropped AMD module support. Releases historically occurred somewhat frequently for major feature additions in 1.x, with 2.0.0 being a significant breaking change. It allows developers to configure tailored HTTP clients by wrapping a basic client with only the necessary features, promoting a lightweight and modular approach to client-side HTTP interactions, differentiating it from monolithic HTTP libraries.
