//! Nym HTTP API Client
//!
//! Centralizes and implements the core API client functionality. This crate provides custom,
//! configurable middleware for a re-usable HTTP client that takes advantage of connection pooling
//! and other benefits provided by the [`reqwest`] `Client`.
//!
//! ## Making GET requests
//!
//! Create an HTTP `Client` and use it to make a GET request.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use url::Url;
//! # use nym_http_api_client::{ApiClient, NO_PARAMS, HttpClientError};
//!
//! # type Err = HttpClientError;
//! # async fn run() -> Result<(), Err> {
//! let url: Url = "https://nymvpn.com".parse()?;
//! let client = nym_http_api_client::Client::new(url, None);
//!
//! // Send a get request to the `/v1/status` path with no query parameters.
//! let resp = client.send_get_request(&["v1", "status"], NO_PARAMS).await?;
//! let body = resp.text().await?;
//!
//! println!("body = {body:?}");
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## JSON
//!
//! There are also json helper methods that assist in executing requests that send or receive json.
//! It can take any value that can be serialized into JSON.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use std::collections::HashMap;
//! # use std::time::Duration;
//! use nym_http_api_client::{ApiClient, HttpClientError, NO_PARAMS};
//!
//! # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//! #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! pub struct ApiHealthResponse {
//!     pub status: ApiStatus,
//!     pub uptime: u64,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! pub enum ApiStatus {
//!     Up,
//! }
//!
//! # type Err = HttpClientError;
//! # async fn run() -> Result<(), Err> {
//! // This will POST a body of `{"lang":"rust","body":"json"}`
//! let mut map = HashMap::new();
//! map.insert("lang", "rust");
//! map.insert("body", "json");
//!
//! // Create a client using the ClientBuilder and set a custom timeout.
//! let client = nym_http_api_client::Client::builder("https://nymvpn.com")?
//!     .with_timeout(Duration::from_secs(10))
//!     .build()?;
//!
//! // Send a POST request with our json `map` as the body and attempt to parse the body
//! // of the response as an ApiHealthResponse from json.
//! let res: ApiHealthResponse = client.post_json(&["v1", "status"], NO_PARAMS, &map)
//!     .await?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Creating an ApiClient Wrapper
//!
//! An example API implementation that relies on this crate for managing the HTTP client.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use async_trait::async_trait;
//! use nym_http_api_client::{ApiClient, HttpClientError, NO_PARAMS};
//!
//! mod routes {
//!     pub const API_VERSION: &str = "v1";
//!     pub const API_STATUS_ROUTES: &str = "api-status";
//!     pub const HEALTH: &str = "health";
//! }
//!
//! mod responses {
//!     # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//!     #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//!     pub struct ApiHealthResponse {
//!         pub status: ApiStatus,
//!         pub uptime: u64,
//!     }
//!
//!     #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//!     pub enum ApiStatus {
//!         Up,
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! mod error {
//!     # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//!     # use core::fmt::{Display, Formatter, Result as FmtResult};
//!     #[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq, Eq)]
//!     pub struct RequestError {
//!         message: String,
//!     }
//!
//!     impl Display for RequestError {
//!         fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> FmtResult {
//!             Display::fmt(&self.message, f)
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! pub type SpecificAPIError = HttpClientError;
//!
//! #[cfg_attr(target_arch = "wasm32", async_trait(?Send))]
//! #[cfg_attr(not(target_arch = "wasm32"), async_trait)]
//! pub trait SpecificApi: ApiClient {
//!     async fn health(&self) -> Result<responses::ApiHealthResponse, SpecificAPIError> {
//!         self.get_json(
//!             &[
//!                 routes::API_VERSION,
