What is sttp?

sttp is an open-source HTTP client for Scala that provides a clean, programmer-friendly API to describe HTTP requests and handle responses. It supports various approaches to writing Scala code, including synchronous (direct-style), Future-based, and functional effect systems like cats-effect, ZIO, Monix, Kyo, and scalaz. sttp is designed to be extensible and integrates seamlessly with popular libraries for JSON handling, logging, metrics, and tracing.
