Clojurians Log v2

@borkdude In reference to this from the babashka book:

In the future babashka (1.0.0?) may come with an HTTP client based on the JVM 11 java.net.http package that ticks all the boxes (async, HTTP/2, websockets, multi-part file uploads, sane memory usage) and is a suitable replacement for all of the above options. If you know about a GraalVM-friendly feature-complete well-maintained library, please reach out!

... which boxes does https://github.com/schmee/java-http-clj not tick?

I'm thinking we may need that best-of-both-worlds option beyond curl & http-kit soon for our lambdas

java-http-clj is already compatible from source with bb :)

i.e. you can run it as a dependency

great!

is that a candidate for inclusion in bb soon then? (just curious)

why would we include it if you can already run it?

b/c that paragraph from the book says you might

that I pasted above

I didn't anticipate that we would include the full java.net.http classes, but we now did

I am planning to work on an http client solution that is more general and can be swapped out with other implementations

as part of https://github.com/clj-easy/tools.misc

so then you can say: hmm, bb uses clj-easy.tools.http-client with java-http-clj as the backing implementation, but in our app we want to use httpkit, so then it's just a matter of swapping out the implementations while programming against the same API

I see

I wish I'd done that from the start, so I could freely choose between e.g. cheshire or jsonista or clojure.data.json as the json lib in bb for example, without exposing that

yeah, it's a great idea

what is it that you think are the best parts from bb.curl + httpkit? input for that API is surely welcome

I'm proxying an API w/ one of my lambdas, so it's going to be a mix of their two sweet spots (i.e. lots of small reqs for http-kit and some large reqs for curl). so having something that can handle both well would be ideal. so less API and more behavior.

you might just want to go with java.net.http directly then maybe or via that lib?

yeah I'll probably do that

@cap10morgan The overhead of loading that lib is pretty tiny:

$ bb -e '(babashka.deps/add-deps (quote {:deps {java-http-clj/java-http-clj {:mvn/version "0.4.3"}}})) (time (require (quote [java-http-clj.core :as http])))'
"Elapsed time: 14.39565 msecs"

@cap10morgan Here's a demo of clj-easy.tool.json in bb: https://github.com/clj-easy/tools.misc/discussions/2#discussioncomment-2518657
