# Introduction ## A CFML HTTP Builder ### Inspiration Hyper was built after coding several API SDK's for various platforms — [S3SDK](https://github.com/coldbox-modules/s3sdk), [cbstripe](https://github.com/coldbox-modules/cbox-stripe), and [cbgithub](https://github.com/elpete/cbgithub), to name a few. We noticed that we spent a lot of time setting up the plumbing for the requests and a wrapper around `cfhttp`. Each implementation was mostly the same but slightly different. It was additionally frustrating because we really only needed to tweak a few values, usually just the `Authorization` header. It would be nice to create an HTTP client pre-configured for each of these SDK's. It seemed the perfect fit for a module. ### The problem it solves Hyper exists to provide a fluent builder experience for HTTP requests and responses. It also provides a powerful way to create clients, i.e. Builder objects with pre-configured defaults like a base URL or certain headers. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://hyper.ortusbooks.com/introduction.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
