A simple and lightweight HTTP client implemented using go.

Why are we creating our own httpClient.

• ease of doing telemetry.

• ownership and proper understanding of code. nothing can break our code.

• changes are made only in one place which is our library.

• Not having to deal with closing connections. as the library closes open connections.

• we can use the httpClient as the base for another api.

• only one instance of a httpclient exists in our entire code base. we can not run out of memery fast.

• to check code coverage for our library - go test ./... -cover

Main.Minor.Patch Main - Breaking changes to already existing api. if 0 it means its not stable. Minor- added more api but existing api works as usual. Patch - fixed existing api or modified implementation details of existing api.
