# ESP32 HTTP Client Library

> A fluent, object-oriented HTTP client for ESP32 that **binds JSON response fields directly into your variables** — no `ArduinoJson`, no intermediate strings, no boilerplate.

This library acts as a bridge between your variables and your API. You don't "parse" JSON, you tell the client where to put the data.

## Key Features
- **Fluent chaining** — build requests naturally: `.get().query().getBody()`.
- **Direct injection** — JSON values are written straight into standard C types or C++ structs.
- **Zero buffering** — the response stream is parsed in place; the full payload is never stored.
- **Headers & Auth** — extract headers easily (`.getHeader()`) and set authentication (`.bearer()`, `.basic()`, `.apiKey()`, `.cookie()`).
- **Dynamic Parameters** — replace `{path}` segments or append query strings easily (`.path()`, `.query()`).
- **Nested JSON & Arrays** — navigate using dot notation (`sensor.temp`) and array indexes (`0.address.city`).
- **Struct <-> JSON mapping** — direct bidirectional struct serialization/deserialization.
- **Full REST support** — `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE`.
- **Low Memory Footprint** — ~0.0 KB heap memory usage per request.
- **High Performance** — ~12x faster execution time with native Keep-Alive.
