-	DESCRIPTION "A lightweight, modern C++ HTTP/HTTPS client library designed for low-level performance and clean API ergonomics. Built from the ground up to provide a zero-heavy-dependency network solution, it features an intuitive fluent interface (builder pattern) for crafting requests, an integrated URL parser, and a cross-platform socket wrapper. Ideal for systems engineering and lightweight applications requiring direct control over network transport and memory management"
