The easiest HTTP networking library for Kotlin backed by Kotlinx Coroutines.

## Migration

From 3.x onwards, we are using [main](https://github.com/kittinunf/fuel/tree/main) as our new base branch. If you are finding the old version [2.x](https://github.com/kittinunf/fuel/tree/2.x), please take a look at our old branch.

## Download

### For release version

```kotlin
implementation("com.github.kittinunf.fuel:fuel:3.0.0-alpha04")
```

## Quick Start

use the `any http method` [suspend](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coroutines/basics.html) function:

```kotlin
runBlocking {
    val string: String = Fuel.get("https://publicobject.com/helloworld.txt").body.string()
    println(string)
}

runBlocking {
    val string: String = "https://publicobject.com/helloworld.txt".httpGet().body.string()
    println(string)
}

runBlocking {
    val fuel = FuelBuilder().build()
    val string: String = fuel.get(request = { url = "https://publicobject.com/helloworld.txt" }).body.string()
    println(string)
}

```

## Custom Configuration

JVM uses [OkHttpClient](https://square.github.io/okhttp/4.x/okhttp/okhttp3/-ok-http-client/) configurations

```kotlin
val fuel = FuelBuilder().config(OKHttpClient()).build()
val string = fuel.get(request = { url = "https://publicobject.com/helloworld.txt" }).body.string()
```

Apple uses [NSURLSessionConfiguration](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurlsessionconfiguration)

```kotlin
val fuel = FuelBuilder().config(NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration).build()
val string = fuel.get(request = { url = "https://publicobject.com/helloworld.txt" }).body.string()
```

Please note it will throw Exceptions. Make sure you catch it on the production apps.

Fuel requires Java 8 byte code.

## Requirements

- If you are using Android, It needs to be Android 5+.
- Java 8+

## R8 / Proguard

Fuel is fully compatible with R8 out of the box and doesn't require adding any extra rules.

If you use Proguard, you may need to add rules for [Coroutines](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/kotlinx-coroutines-core/jvm/resources/META-INF/proguard/coroutines.pro), [OkHttp](https://github.com/square/okhttp/blob/master/okhttp/src/main/resources/META-INF/proguard/okhttp3.pro) and [Okio](https://github.com/square/okio/blob/master/okio/src/jvmMain/resources/META-INF/proguard/okio.pro).

If you use the fuel-serialization modules, you may need to add rules for [Serialization](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization#androidjvm).

If you use the fuel-moshi modules, you may need to add rules for [Moshi](https://github.com/square/moshi/blob/master/moshi/src/main/resources/META-INF/proguard/moshi.pro) and [Moshi-Kotlin](https://github.com/square/moshi/blob/master/kotlin/reflect/src/main/resources/META-INF/proguard/moshi-kotlin.pro)
