Description

Consider using Faraday instead of HTTParty?

Basic example

Currently, the Meilisearch gem is using HTTParty, which is a great HTTP client library that's been around for a long time. It is, however, very rarely updated, and most libraries in the wild are now using Faraday as their HTTP client. I was wondering if you'd consider making a switch to Faraday?

I'd also be happy to put together a PR to do so, but didn't want to be presumptuous and waste your time and mine if you all feel strongly that HTTParty is the way to go. Please let me know!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Meilisearch gem's HTTParty usage and reviewing how its HTTP client behavior is covered by tests; the work would be complete when the client uses Faraday with equivalent behavior and the relevant tests pass.
