//!
//! This library provides a simplified API over the [cURL Rust
//! bindings][] that resemble that of higher-level libraries such as
//! [reqwest][].
//! [reqwest][]. All calls are synchronous.
//!
//! `crimp` is intended to be used in situations where HTTP client
//! functionality is desired without adding a significant number of
//! dependencies or sacrificing too much usability.
//!
//! Using `crimp` to make HTTP requests is done using a simple
//! builder-pattern style API:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use crimp::{Method, Request};
//!
//! let response = Request::new(Method::Get, "http://httpbin.org/get").unwrap()
//! .user_agent("crimp test suite").unwrap()
//! .send().unwrap();
//!
//! assert_eq!(response.status, 200);
//! ```
//!
//! The `json` feature (enabled by default) adds support for
//! automatically serialising and deserialising request/response
//! bodies using `serde_json`.
//!
//! If a feature from the underlying cURL library is missing, the
//! `Request::raw` method can be used as an escape hatch to deal with
//! the handle directly. Should you find yourself doing this, please
//! [file an issue][].
//!
//! `crimp` does not currently expose functionality for re-using a
//! cURL Easy handle, meaning that keep-alive of HTTP connections and
//! the like is not supported.
//!
//! [cURL Rust bindings]: https://docs.rs/curl
//! [reqwest]: https://docs.rs/reqwest
//! [file an issue]: https://github.com/tazjin/crimp/issues
