    With no release in the last 6 months, piling up of issues and launch of a new fork (diox), I felt something was going on with dio. Sadly, today I came across an official announcement (updated on the project repo 2 days back):

    You might want to think twice about dio....we evaluated dio on a recent project and decided to avoid it after running into a blocker when setting a custom timeout (this bug: https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/issues/1454)
  • GetX is dead, what to use next?

    I also had some troubles choosing which Dart HTTP client to use. I've started with dio, but when I tried to read one of our bigger JSON responses (~1.5mb) my browser tab froze (there seems to be an old issue describing the same behavior). After that I've switched to the default dart's http package and it is working fine but it doesn't have builtin requests abort/cancellation.
