fetchDSL

fetchDSL is a tool that aims to provide the ability to easily declaritively create a series of HTTP calls

Uses

FetchDSL has been designed to be able to easily parallise thousands of HTTP calls with little to no effort from the user. It also works wonderfully for once-off calls, especially when setup for that call is consistent between different examples (think website login).

Examples

A basic example that'll send a GET request to http://example.com

runHttp {
    call("http://example.com")
}

As simple as that you'll have a HTTP call. Of course, the same could have easily been done with cURL. So lets go onto slightly more challenging problems.

GET multiple times

runHttp {
    call("http://example.com/!1!") {
        data = FileDataSuppler("inputfile")
    }
}

This will call http://example.com/ one time for every line in inputfile. Not only that, but it'll replace !1! with whatever is the first part of the line (by default split by spaces).
