A Modern HTTP Client API for GWT, Requestor offers all features needed for a current robust AJAX application. It is pleasant to use and fully configurable and extensible.
Requesting is now simple and nice.
requestor.req("http://httpbin.org/ip").get(String.class).done(new DoneCallback<String>() {
public void onDone(String result) {
Window.alert(result);
}
});With Java 8 support, it will be really cool!
requestor.req("http://httpbin.org/ip").get(String.class).done(Window::alert);The low-level RequestBuilder way would be...
/* Original GWT RequestBuilder approach */
RequestBuilder rb = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET, "http://httpbin.org/ip");
rb.setCallback(new RequestCallback() {
@Override
public void onResponseReceived(Request request, Response response) {
String result = response.getText();
Window.alert(result);
}
@Override
public void onError(Request request, Throwable exception) {
// ...
}
});
try {
rb.send();
} catch (RequestException e) {
// ...
}Make a request is a trivial task and now you can do it healthily. :)
Requesting will never be boring again!
Almost all features are working perfectly in all modern browsers, except:

The minimal installation requires two dependencies, the core API and some implementation. The default implementation is requestor-gdeferred, which exposes GDeferred's Promise API.
