# The HTTP (TH)

A toolkit to help build HTTP service.

## Features

- **Modern**: Using `async/await` instead of `callback`
- **Simple**: Simple function model: `async (request) => response`
- **Extensible**: Via making and composing intuitive wrappers
- **Standard**: Just HTTP
- **Micro**: Suitable for micro service
