Step 1: Add the dependency

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>dev.dubsky</groupId>
    <artifactId>rapidrequest</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

or if you are using Gradle, add the following to your build.gradle file:

implementation 'dev.dubsky:rapidrequest:1.2'

Step 2: Make a request

Blocking (synchronous) request:

RapidResponse response = new SyncRequest()
        .setUrl("https://type.fit/api/quotes")
        .setMethod(HttpMethod.GET)
        .expect(ContentType.JSON)  // Optional
        .addHeader("Header", "Header-Value")  // Optional
        .addHeader("Another-Header", "Another-Value")  // Optional
        .call();

Asynchronous request:

RapidResponse response = new AsyncRequest()
        .setUrl("https://type.fit/api/quotes")
        .setMethod(HttpMethod.GET)
        .expect(ContentType.JSON) // Optional
        .addHeader("Header", "Header-Value") // Optional
        .addHeader("Another-Header", "Another-Value") // Optional
        .call();

Asynchronous request with blocking:

RapidResponse response = new AsyncRequest()
        .setUrl("https://type.fit/api/quotes")
        .setMethod(HttpMethod.GET)
        .expect(ContentType.JSON) // Optional
        .addHeader("Header", "Header-Value") // Optional
        .addHeader("Another-Header", "Another-Value") // Optional
        .call();

response.waitForCompletion(); // Blocks until the request is complete

Step 3: Result is given in a Response Object

RapidResponse{
    statusCode=200, 
    response='[
        {
            "text": "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.",
            "author": "Thomas Edison, type.fit"
        },
        ...
    ]',
    request=Request{
            method=GET,
            url='https://type.fit/api/quotes',
            body='null',
            contentType=JSON,
            headers=[User-Agent=Java 21 HttpClient],
            returnType=JSON
    }
}
