http-request-cli

Minimal example project that exposes two command-line interfaces for performing simple HTTP requests:

• http-argparse: implemented with the standard library argparse
• http-typer: implemented with typer (built on Click)

Both CLIs offer similar functionality so you can compare:

• Project structure
• Developer ergonomics
• Help output and UX

Installation (editable)

uv pip install -e .
# or
pip install -e .

Usage

Argparse version:

This repository is intentionally small and focused so it can be used in blog posts, talks, or training material comparing argparse and typer.
