jmillikin:

but I've never been able to figure out which HTTP library is the standard so I've just used Go whenever I need to do a project that involves HTTP.

That's the thing.. there is no standard package for anything (except for what's in the standard library itself of course). Certain packages may have nicer names, but that doesn't mean that they're the best package implementing that thing for your given use case. json gets to use the name json simply because it was the first crate that implemented JSON, that doesn't mean it's the best or "standard" JSON crate, just that it's the one that got there first.
