The goal of Apizr v4.0 is still to get all ready to use for web api requesting, with the more resiliency we can, but without the boilerplate. It’s based on Refit, so what we can do with Refit could be done with Apizr too. But Apizr has more to offer, with at least: Working offline with cache management Handling errors with retry pattern and global catching Handling request priority Checking connectivity Tracing http traffic Handling authentication Mapping model with DTO Using Mediator pattern Using Optional pattern Anyway, this post is about changes only, but we published a series about Apizr already which you can find here.
