Which Tier

• Obvious choice
• Challenger

Explain:

aiosonic is a pure-asyncio HTTP client that covers HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and WebSocket in a single package, with connection pooling, proxy support, multipart uploads and full type annotations. It has been developed since 2019, released 1.2.0 on 2026-10-10, and is documented at https://aiosonic.readthedocs.io.

It is the HTTP backend of Datadog's official Python API client: datadog-api-client (~18M downloads/month) declares aiosonic>=0.24.0 for its async extra and builds its async REST client on aiosonic.HTTPClient (rest.py).

Disclosure: I am the author. Adoption is modest compared with the current entries (~740k downloads/month on pypistats, 170 GitHub stars), so I'm submitting it as a challenger and leaving the judgment to the maintainer.

Displacement

HTTP Clients → General is at its cap of 5. The section currently lists both httpx and its fork httpx2, which do the same job with the same API. Consolidating those two into one slot would free a place for an async-first alternative; aiosonic is proposed for that slot.

@sonic182 Thanks for the PR. HTTP Clients › General is at its cap, and a Displacement argument needs to name one entry that aiosonic replaces and does better. Consolidating httpx/httpx2 is a structure decision for the maintainer, not a slot an entry PR can claim. At ~0.7M downloads/month vs. aiohttp's ~469M for the same async-first job, aiosonic isn't an obvious choice here yet. See CONTRIBUTING.md
