I have api calls which needs header data and body data. I found two packages in the pub.dev
https://pub.dev/packages/http --> http https://pub.dev/packages/dio --> dio
Which of these packages has better performance and is good to use in flutter apps??
What is Dio? Dio is a powerful HTTP client for dart, which supports Interceptors, Global configuration, FormData, Request Cancellation, File downloading, Timeout, etc. By comparing the http package with Dio, Dio provides an intuitive API for performing advanced network tasks with minimal effort.
Dio package comes handy as it provides a powerful HTTP client for Dart and Flutter and it supports Interceptors, Global configuration, FormData, Request Cancellation, File Downloading, Timeout etc. Also less boilerplate leads to cleaner code.
Introduction. Applications frequently need to perform POST and GET and other HTTP requests. Flutter provides an http package that supports making HTTP requests. In this article, you will create an example Flutter app that uses the http package to perform HTTP requests to display placeholder information.
You can cancel a request by using a cancel token. One token can be shared with different requests. when a token's cancel method invoked, all requests with this token will be cancelled.
You can use whatever, dio
is more complete. It depends your need. But the performance are equivalent.
on reddit people recommend http and i agree with them. it's simple
