//! # crimp
//!
//! This library provides a simplified API over the [cURL Rust
//! bindings][] that resemble that of higher-level libraries such as
//! [reqwest][]. All calls are synchronous.
//!
//! `crimp` is intended to be used in situations where HTTP client
//! functionality is desired without adding a significant number of
//! dependencies or sacrificing too much usability.
//!
//! Using `crimp` to make HTTP requests is done using a simple
//! builder-pattern style API. For example, to make a `GET`-request
//! and print the result to `stdout`:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use crimp::{Method, Request};
//!
//! let response = Request::new(Method::Get, "http://httpbin.org/get")
//!     .user_agent("crimp test suite").unwrap()
//!     .send().unwrap()
//!     .as_string().unwrap();
//!
//! println!("Status: {}\nBody: {}", response.status, response.body);
//! # assert_eq!(response.status, 200);
//! ```
//!
//! If a feature from the underlying cURL library is missing, the
//! `Request::raw` method can be used as an escape hatch to deal with
//! the handle directly. Should you find yourself doing this, please
//! [file an issue][].
//!
//! `crimp` does not currently expose functionality for re-using a
//! cURL Easy handle, meaning that keep-alive of HTTP connections and
//! the like is not supported.
//!
//! ## Cargo features
//!
//! All optional features are enabled by default.
//!
//! * `json`: Adds `Request::json` and `Response::as_json` methods
//!   which can be used for convenient serialisation of
//!   request/response bodies using `serde_json`. This feature adds a
//!   dependency on the `serde` and `serde_json` crates.
//!
