“If possible, please buy the package to support the developer”
If you want a plugin that supports request customization for REST, WebSocket, Socket.IO, SignalR, SignalR Core, Server-Sent Events (and much more) over HTTP/2 out of the box, with regular updates and outstanding support from the developer, then BestHTTP/2 is THE tool for you!
Best HTTP is the definitive networking solution for Unity, designed for developers who demand both versatility and power. Seamlessly compatible with Unity versions from 2021.1 onwards, it offers unparalleled cross-platform support, spanning Desktop, Mobile, UWP, and Web Browsers. With its advanced feature set, it goes beyond basic HTTP requests, offering support for HTTPS, HTTP/2, and providing flexibility with versatile request outcome handling via traditional callbacks, Unity coroutines, and the modern async-await pattern.
Not only is Best HTTP universally compatible without requiring special server setups, but it also boasts advanced features like caching, multiple authentication methods, cookie management, compression, streaming, and a rich set of customization options. A standout feature is its built-in profiler, giving developers deep insights into memory usage and network operations, ensuring optimal performance and facilitating debugging.
Comparatively, Best HTTP outshines UnityWebRequest in many aspects, from its advanced DNS caching capabilities to its structured diagnostic logging. Whether you’re working on a simple app or an expansive multiplayer game, Best HTTP ensures that your network operations are efficient, secure, and consistent. With source code inclusion and robust documentation, developers are equipped with all the tools they need for successful network implementations.
You can try out the package on its own demo page and read the online documentation.

? Core Dependency for Extended Functionality ?
Best HTTP stands as the backbone for a multitude of specialized networking assets. Its robust and efficient architecture serves as a fundamental dependency, powering numerous other packages like Best WebSockets, Best MQTT, Best Socket.IO, Best SignalR and more. This central role ensures that when you invest in Best HTTP, you’re not just getting a standalone package, but a gateway to a suite of advanced networking tools, all unified in their reliability and performance.
