Purely functional HTTP client
Hammock
Hammock is yet another HTTP client for Scala. It tries to be typeful, purely functional, and work along other technologies that you're already using such as akka-http, circe, or cats.
Installation
Add the following to your build.sbt.
// For Scala 2.10, 2.11, or 2.12
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.pepegar" %% "hammock-core" % "0.10.0",
// Hammock for standard Scala doesn't ship with a standard implementation
"com.pepegar" %% "hammock-apache-http" % "0.10.0"
)
// For ScalaJS
libraryDependencies += "com.pepegar" %%% "hammock-core" % "0.10.0"
Rationale
- It's easy to use, has a high level API
- It's typeful, tries to represent effects at type level.
- It does not force a specific target context. You can run your computations in any type
F[_]that has an instance of cats-effect'sSync[F]. - It has good documentation.
- It's modular

How does Hammock look in action?
import cats.effect.IO
import hammock._
import hammock.marshalling._
import hammock.apache.ApacheInterpreter
import hammock.circe.implicits._
object HttpClient {
// Using the Apache HTTP commons interpreter
implicit val interpreter = ApacheInterpreter.instance[IO]
val response = Hammock
.request(Method.GET, uri"https://api.fidesmo.com/apps", Map()) // In the `request` method, you describe your HTTP request
.as[List[String]]
.exec[IO]
}
