This library lets you automatically derive Haskell functions that let you query each endpoint of a servant webservice.
Example
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
import Data.Proxy
import Data.Text
import Servant.API
import Servant.HttpStreams
type Book = Text
type MyApi = "books" :> Get '[JSON] [Book] -- GET /books
:<|> "books" :> ReqBody '[JSON] Book :> Post '[JSON] Book -- POST /books
myApi :: Proxy MyApi
myApi = Proxy
-- 'client' allows you to produce operations to query an API from a client.
postNewBook :: Book -> ClientM Book
getAllBooks :: ClientM [Book]
(getAllBooks :<|> postNewBook) = client myApi
-- the IOException happens already in withClientEnvIO
main' :: IO ()
main' = do
let burl = BaseUrl Http "localhost" 8081 ""
withClientEnvIO burl $ \env -> do
res <- runClientM getAllBooks env
case res of
Left err -> putStrLn $ "Error: " ++ show err
Right books -> print books
main :: IO ()
main = return ()

Significant changes
servant-client / servant-client-core / servant-http-streams:
Fix erroneous behavior, where only 2XX status codes would be considered
successful, irrelevant of the status parameter specified by the verb
combinator. (#1469)
:<|> "capture-lenient" :> Capture' '[Lenient] "foo" Int :> GET
which will make the capture always succeed. Handlers will be of the
type Either String CapturedType, where Left err represents
the possible parse failure.

For Verbs with response Headers, the implementation didn’t check
for the content-type of the response. Now it does.
