The Hidden Blast Radius of the Axios Compromise
The Axios compromise shows how time-dependent dependency resolution makes exposure harder to detect and contain.
RestSharp
Advanced tools
RestSharp is a lightweight HTTP API client library. It's a wrapper around HttpClient, not a full-fledged client on
its own.
What RestSharp adds to HttpClient:
RestSharp 107 was a major release that brings a lot of changes. We've removed a lot of legacy code and added new
features. Finally, RestSharp has moved to HttpClient. We also deprecated the following:
System.Text.Json.JsonSerialzerIRestRequest, and IRestResponse in favour of implementing classesHttp and IHttp as those are just wrappersRestClientOptions to make the client thread-safeIRestClient interface surface substantially reducedMost of the client and some of the request options are now in RestClientOptions.
Check v107+ docs for more information.
