0.1.0 - 2026-05-27

Added

• better-fetch — typed HTTP client on top of reqwest with Client, ClientBuilder, and fluent RequestBuilder.
• JSON request/response via serde (json, send_json, json_unchecked, optional custom json_parser).
• Dynamic path parameters (:id), query strings (including repeated keys and query_json), and @put/... method path modifiers.
• Absolute URL paths that bypass base_url when the path is a full http(s):// URL.
• Authentication: Bearer, Basic, and custom prefix; static, sync, and async token sources.
• Retry policies: count, linear, and exponential backoff with custom should_retry and default retry on 429/502/503/504.
• Lifecycle hooks: on_request, on_response, on_success, on_error, on_retry; retry_attempt on request context.
• Plugin system with init and merged hooks; built-in LoggerPlugin using tracing.
• Endpoint trait and client.call::<E>() for typed routes.
• HttpBackend abstraction with reqwest implementation and ClientBuilder::backend for mocks.
• Error type with HTTP status, status_text, response body bytes, and api_json() for API error payloads.
• Optional features: schema / openapi (registry + minimal OpenAPI builder), tower / tower-http (transport Service stack), validate (garde response validation), macros (reserved proc-macro crate).
• typed-fetch and api-fetch — crates.io aliases that re-export better-fetch.
• better-fetch-tower — optional companion crate for Tower transport integration.
• better-fetch-macros — placeholder proc-macro crate for future derives.
• Workspace examples (basic, typed_endpoint, hooks, logger_plugin, retry, auth, validated_response, tower_stack).
• Integration and unit tests (60+ cases) with wiremock.

Notes

• Inspired by @better-fetch/fetch; independent Rust implementation, not affiliated with the upstream TypeScript project.
