About Unirest
Unirest is a set of lightweight HTTP libraries available in multiple languages, built and maintained by Kong, who also maintains the open-source API Gateway Kong. To utilize Unirest for node.js install the npm module. You're probably wondering how using Unirest makes creating requests easier. Besides automatically supporting gzip, and parsing responses, you can start with basic examples. A request can be initiated by invoking the appropriate method on the Unirest object, then calling .end() to send the request. Alternatively, you can send the request directly by providing a callback along with the URL. Provides simple and easy-to-use methods for manipulating the request prior to being sent. This object is created when a Unirest method is invoked. This object contains methods that are chainable like other libraries such as jQuery and popular request module Superagent (which this library is modeled after slightly).
