+## Usage
+
+Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+
+### Features
+
+- supports http
+- supports https
+- supports unix socks
+- supports formData
+- supports file uploads
+- supports best practice keepAlive
+- dedicated functions for working with JSON request/response cycles
+- written in TypeScript
+- continuously updated
+- uses node native http and https modules
+- used in modules like @pushrocks/smartproxy and @apiglobal/typedrequest
+- commercial support available at [https://lossless.support](https://lossless.support)
+
+> note: smartrequest uses the **native** node http/https modules under the hood (not the bloated one from npm)
+
+```javascript
