HTTP Clients

Req is the batteries-included HTTP client for Elixir — retries, compression, caching, and streaming out of the box. Finch provides high-performance connection pooling built on Mint. Tesla offers a middleware architecture for composable HTTP clients. Mint is the low-level foundation if you need fine-grained connection control.
