This module provides a nicer interface to the built-in http module.

This module was created because request is bloated *(several megabytes!)*.

Highlights: - Promise & stream API - Request cancellation - Follows redirects - Retries on network failure - Handles gzip/deflate - Timeout handling - Errors with metadata - JSON mode - WHATWG URL support - Electron support

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
