Hello,

This is Marco. We have a renewed interest to keep building and supporting Unirest-Java moving forward, but we are looking for contributors that would want to become official maintainers and:

I believe @ryber is already maintaining a new fork at https://github.com/OpenUnirest/unirest-java

Thanks @rnc - Hi @ryber, would you be interested?

OpenUnirest has diverted quite a lot from original unirest-java but it's still a fork (though not officially) and could be merged back.

I'd be quite open to doing so if you would like to discuss. Just take a look at the repo, it's history and the issues history. (https://github.com/OpenUnirest/unirest-java/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) Some of the highlights (IMO) include:

  1. Multiple configs possible
  2. Lots of functional interfaces for lambdas
  3. Full native support for JSON-Patch
  4. the project is moving towards a modular system where Apache will be one option for the backend processor in addition to others (primarily the Java-9 native client)

If you like we could get together on a call or something to discuss (I'm also @ryber on twitter)
