You can add curl to a Rust project too.

But why, when reqwest is enough for 99% of cases.

[bigstrat2003]

Because it requires using async, and for most programs async is not worth the extra effort (plus very heavy dependency in the form of Tokio).

[WD-42]

It requires Tokio, and believe it or not there are actual cases for non-async rust. So you can't use it in that case.

[koakuma-chan]

It's bloated.
