Switch to Faraday?

[flipsasser]

Description

Consider using Faraday instead of HTTParty?

Basic example

Currently, the Meilisearch gem is using HTTParty, which is a great HTTP client library that's been around for a long time. It is, however, very rarely updated, and most libraries in the wild are now using Faraday as their HTTP client. I was wondering if you'd consider making a switch to Faraday?

I'd also be happy to put together a PR to do so, but didn't want to be presumptuous and waste your time and mine if you all feel strongly that HTTParty is the way to go. Please let me know!

To elaborate, faraday allows users to transparently use a different http library (any one listed here https://github.com/lostisland/awesome-faraday/#adapters) without changes to library code.

I would be in favor of making such a switch. I don't think httparty leaks into public api, which is good.

Interesting approach! I liked the idea! PRs are welcome!

I would just advise to try the branch using the meilisearch-rails before pushing any version.
