Typed REST and HTTP Client

typed-rest-client is a lightweight REST and HTTP client library designed for Node.js, with a strong emphasis on TypeScript support, including generics and async/await capabilities. The current stable version is 2.3.0, building on a release history that includes a significant v2.0.0 update in late 2023 that raised the minimum Node.js requirement to version 16.0.0. The library provides built-in TypeScript typings, eliminating the need for separate type installations. It differentiates itself by offering both a low-level HttpClient, which returns response objects for all HTTP statuses (including 4xx/5xx), and a higher-level RestClient, which automatically deserializes JSON and throws errors for non-success status codes. Key features include support for Basic, Bearer, and NTLM authentication, proxy configurations, client/server certificates, and automatic handling of HTTP redirects. It maintains a regular, but not rapid, release cadence, focusing on stability and functionality for enterprise Node.js applications.
