Choosing an HTTP Client Library in Elixir

An individual new to Elixir, named ringbuffer__, is exploring the available HTTP client libraries and seeks the community's recommendation. The latest library garnering attention is `req`, which stands out due to it potentially becoming the default HTTP client in the next version of Phoenix. There's a mix of responses, with some favoring `req` for its simplicity and modern attributes like Finch for pooling and Mint for low-level HTTP, while others prefer `tesla` for its straightforward usage or `hackney` for its popularity. Another mentioned library is `gun` for those seeking the most control at a lower level, although it's noted to be less user-friendly. Additionally, a core team member has posted an article that provides a breakdown of HTTP clients in Elixir, adding to the resources available for making an informed choice.
