Zig bindings for [[https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/][libcurl]], a free and easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library.

#+begin_quote This package is in early stage, although the core functionality works right now, the API is still subject to changes. #+end_quote

The vendored libraries consist of: | Library | Version | |---------+---------| | libcurl | [[https://github.com/curl/curl/tree/curl-8_8_0][8.8.0]] | | zlib | [[https://github.com/madler/zlib/tree/v1.3.1][1.3.1]] | | mbedtls | [[https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/v3.6.0][3.6.0]] |

• Usage

#+begin_src zig const curl = @import("curl");

pub fn main() !void { var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){}; defer if (gpa.deinit() != .ok) @panic("leak"); const allocator = gpa.allocator();

const easy = try curl.Easy.init(allocator, .{});
defer easy.deinit();

const resp = try easy.get("http://httpbin.org/anything");
defer resp.deinit();

std.debug.print("Status code: {d}\nBody: {s}\n", .{
    resp.status_code,
    resp.body.items,
});

} #+end_src See [[file:examples/basic.zig]], [[file:examples/advanced.zig]] for more usage.

• Installation

#+begin_src bash zig fetch --save=curl https://github.com/jiacai2050/zig-curl/archive/${COMMIT}.tar.gz #+end_src

Replace ${COMMIT} with a real one, then in your =build.zig=, import the module like this: #+begin_src zig const dep_curl = b.dependency("curl", .{}); exe.root_module.addImport("curl", dep_curl.module("curl")); exe.linkLibC(); #+end_src

This library will link to a vendored libcurl by default, you can disable it and link to system-wide with this #+begin_src zig const dep_curl = b.dependency("curl", .{ .link_vendor = false }); exe.linkSystemLibrary("curl"); exe.linkLibC(); #+end_src
