RextHttpClient 1.0.22

Basic Usage

All basic API operations have been made available for quick access via IRextHttpClient. If you wish to make a direct call and handle deserialization yourself, then call _rext.MakeRequest method.

IRextHttpClient _rext = new RextHttpClient(); // create new instance via new or DI

Make http call with result deserialized to object.

string url = "http://myapp.com/api/employee/getemployee";
var rsp = await _rext.GetJSON<@Person>(url); // download json
var rsp = await _rext.GetXML<@Person>(url); // download xml
var rsp = await _rext.GetString(url); // download string

Console.WriteLine($"{rsp.StatusCode} - {rsp.Message} - 
Duration: {_rext.Stopwatch?.ElapsedMilliseconds}ms"); // get duration of http call
Console.WriteLine(rsp?.Data); // get deserialized result as object

All Rext methods for http call have overloads for adding more options to suit your need. You supply a type of T and the result from the call is deserialized into it. To retrieve the result you have to check if the call was successful with _rext.IsSuccess, if the value is true then access the data with _rext.Data.

Note: Only successful responses (200) are deserialized by default. to allow deserialization for all response types, set RextOptions.DeserializeSuccessResponseOnly = false or from the global configuration section
