A curated list of awesome middleware and adapters for Faraday. If you want your adapter or middleware to feature in this list, please open a discussion or a PR.
Faraday allows you to change the adapter, the element in the stack responsible for performing the HTTP request, with ease, by the combination of a standardised API to provide configuration and request details, and a powerful set of middleware. However, each adapter can also offer unique features, or lack the support for others. The following table show the available adapters and which features they support.
| Adapter | Bundled with Faraday | Reason Phrase parsing | Compression (Gzip, Deflate) | Response Streaming | Parallel Requests | GET, HEAD, DELETE, TRACE Request Body | HEAD Response Body | TRACE Method | Local Socket Binding |
