Overview
A Flutter/Dart package that provides a clean abstraction for interacting with REST APIs. It simplifies HTTP requests while handling common challenges like error management and JWT authentication with automatic refresh token support. Designed to streamline API communication across multiple platforms, it reduces boilerplate code and enhances reliability in network operations. Ideal for apps requiring secure, consistent backend integration.
