tiny-json-http

Minimalist HTTP client for GET and POSTing JSON payloads

• Zero dependencies: perfect for AWS Lambda or Browserify
• Sane default: assumes buffered JSON responses
• System symmetry: Node style errback API

npm i tiny-json-http --save

api

• tiny.get(options, callback)
• tiny.post(options, callback)
• tiny.put(options, callback)
• tiny.del(options, callback)

options

• url required
• data form vars for tiny.post, tiny.put, and tiny.delete otherwise querystring vars for tiny.get
• headers key/value map used for headers

callback values

• err a real javascript Error if there was one
• data an object with headers and body keys

example

var tiny = require('tiny-json-http')
var url = 'http://www.randomkittengenerator.com'

tiny.get({url}, function __got(err, result) {
  if (err) {
    console.log('ruh roh!', err)
  }
  else {
    console.log(result)
  }
})
