Comparing requests, aiohttp, and httpx: Which HTTP client should you use?
- The article evaluates Python HTTP client libraries requests, aiohttp, and httpx, comparing their ability to handle synchronous and asynchronous requests.
- Requests can only send synchronous requests, aiohttp can only send asynchronous requests, while httpx can handle both.
- Performance testing of multiple GET requests shows differences among these libraries, with results dependent on network speed.
- Code examples demonstrate sending requests with requests, httpx in synchronous mode, and asynchronous mode.
- Httpx's synchronous mode is highly similar to requests' code structure, making it easy to switch between them.
- Asynchronous requests are illustrated using httpx and aiohttp, highlighting their functionality and performance.
- Performance tests for sending 100 requests showcase time consumption using requests, httpx, and aiohttp.
- Connection management impacts speed, with requests.session outperforming basic requests in sending multiple requests.
- Recommendations include using requests for small requests, httpx for mixed requests, and aiohttp for high-speed requirements.
- Lastly, the article suggests Leapcell as a suitable platform for deploying Python services, offering flexibility and scalability.
