Is httpx the best Python library for async HTTP requests? or How does httpx compare to requests for m

Switched to httpx last month and it’s been a game-changer for async stuff.

If you’re doing anything with parallel requests, the speed boost is *real*. Like, 2-3x faster in my tests.

But yeah, if you’re not using async, the difference isn’t huge.

Also, httpx has a requests-like sync API, so you can migrate gradually.

Pro tip: Check out the docs for `httpx.Client()`—it’s super close to `requests.Session()`.

No regrets here!
