Response Handling

The httpx.Response object is returned by value from client operations. The caller owns the response and must call defer response.deinit();.

var response = try client.get("https://httpbun.com/json", .{});
defer response.deinit();

std.debug.print("Status code: {d}\n", .{response.status});

Typed JSON Deserialization

Parse response bodies directly into Zig structs:

const User = struct {
    name: []const u8,
    role: []const u8,
};

const user = try response.json(User);

Header Inspection

Headers are queried case-insensitively:

if (response.header("Content-Type")) |ct| {
    std.debug.print("Content-Type: {s}\n", .{ct});
}

HTML & DOM Parsing

HTML responses can be parsed into a DOM document tree:

var doc = try response.html();
defer doc.deinit();

if (doc.query("h1")) |h1| {
    std.debug.print("Heading: {s}\n", .{h1.text()});
}
