= Gun

Gun is an Erlang HTTP client with support for HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Websocket.

== Goals

Gun aims to provide an *easy to use* client compatible with
HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Websocket.

Gun is *always connected*. It will maintain a permanent
connection to the server, reopening it as soon as the server
closes it, saving time for the requests that come in.

All connections are *supervised* automatically, allowing
developers to focus on writing their code without worrying.

== Sponsors

The project is currently sponsored by
https://kato.im[Kato.im] and https://sameroom.io[Sameroom].

The now removed SPDY implementation was sponsored by
