RestEasyScala

The simplest REST client imaginable, in Scala!

Looking through options for REST clients in Scala I found many that were way over kill for what I needed. I wrapped one of them in a super simple String => Try[String] interface. My suggestion would be to pick your favorite data encoder/decoder, I like Argonaut for JSON, and add a layer on top of this.

Usage

Run your own client

  val client = RestClient.defaultClient
  client.get(...)
  client.terminate()

Run a client which cleans itself up

  RestClient.withDefaultClient { client => 
    val getResult = client.get(...)
    val postResult = client.post(...)
  }

Create a client per call, cleaning up after each

  RestClient.get(...)
