+# Using Activout.RestClient in Your Project
+
+This guide shows you how to use Activout.RestClient to create type-safe REST API clients by defining C# interfaces, and how to unit test them using MockHttp.
+
+## Installation
+
+Install the required packages from NuGet:
+
+```bash
+# Core package
+dotnet add package Activout.RestClient
+
+# Choose one JSON serialization package:
+dotnet add package Activout.RestClient.Json              # For System.Text.Json
+dotnet add package Activout.RestClient.Newtonsoft.Json   # For Newtonsoft.Json
+
+# For unit testing with MockHttp
+dotnet add package RichardSzalay.MockHttp --version 7.0.0
+dotnet add package xunit
+```
+
+## Step 1: Define Your API Interface
+
+Create an interface that describes your REST API endpoints. Use attributes to specify HTTP methods, paths, and parameters.
+
+```csharp
+using Activout.RestClient;
+
+[Path("api/movies")]
+[ErrorResponse(typeof(ErrorResponse))]
+[Accept("application/json")]
+[ContentType("application/json")]
+public interface IMovieReviewService
+{
+    // GET /api/movies
+    [Get]
+    Task<List<Movie>> GetAllMovies();
+
+    // GET /api/movies/{movieId}/reviews
+    [Get("/{movieId}/reviews")]
+    Task<IEnumerable<Review>> GetAllReviews(string movieId);
+
+    // GET /api/movies/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}
+    [Get("/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}")]
+    Task<Review> GetReview(string movieId, string reviewId);
+
+    // POST /api/movies/{movieId}/reviews
+    [Post("/{movieId}/reviews")]
+    Task<Review> SubmitReview(string movieId, Review review);
+
+    // PUT /api/movies/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}
+    [Put("/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}")]
+    Task<Review> UpdateReview(string movieId, string reviewId, Review review);
+
+    // DELETE /api/movies/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}
+    [Delete("/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}")]
+    Task DeleteReview(string movieId, string reviewId);
+
+    // GET /api/movies?begin=...&end=...
+    [Get]
+    Task<List<Movie>> QueryMoviesByDate(
+        [QueryParam] DateTime begin,
+        [QueryParam] DateTime end);
+}
+```
+
+### Available Attributes
+
+**Interface-level attributes:**
+- `[Path("base/path")]` - Base path for all methods in the interface
+- `[Accept("application/json")]` - Default Accept header
+- `[ContentType("application/json")]` - Default Content-Type for POST/PUT requests
+- `[ErrorResponse(typeof(ErrorResponse))]` - Type used to deserialize error responses
+
+**Method-level attributes:**
+- `[Get]`, `[Post]`, `[Put]`, `[Delete]`, `[Patch]` - HTTP method
+- `[Path("relative/path")]` - Relative path for the method
+
+**Parameter attributes:**
+- `[PathParam]` - Path parameter (in URL path with `{paramName}`)
+- `[QueryParam]` - Query string parameter (`?key=value`)
+- `[HeaderParam]` - HTTP header parameter
+- `[FormParam]` - Form data parameter (for `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`)
+- `[PartParam]` - Multipart form data parameter
+
+## Step 2: Define Data Models
+
+Define your request and response models as regular C# classes or records:
+
+```csharp
+public class Movie
+{
+    public string? Title { get; init; }
+    public int? Year { get; init; }
+}
+
+public class Review
+{
+    public Review(int stars, string text)
+    {
+        Stars = stars;
+        Text = text;
+    }
+
+    public string? MovieId { get; init; }
+    public string? ReviewId { get; init; }
+    public int Stars { get; init; }
+    public string Text { get; init; }
+}
+
+public class ErrorResponse
+{
+    public List<ErrorDetail>? Errors { get; init; }
+}
+
+public class ErrorDetail
+{
+    public int Code { get; init; }
+    public string? Message { get; init; }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 3: Create and Use the REST Client
+
+### Using System.Text.Json
+
+```csharp
+using Activout.RestClient;
+using Activout.RestClient.Json;
+
+var restClientFactory = new RestClientFactory();
+var movieService = restClientFactory
+    .CreateBuilder()
+    .With(httpClient)                    // Use your HttpClient
+    .WithSystemTextJson()                // Enable System.Text.Json serialization
+    .BaseUri(new Uri("https://api.example.com"))
+    .Build<IMovieReviewService>();
+
+// Use the client
+var movies = await movieService.GetAllMovies();
+var review = new Review(5, "Amazing movie!");
+await movieService.SubmitReview("movie-123", review);
+```
+
+### Using Newtonsoft.Json
+
+```csharp
+using Activout.RestClient;
+using Activout.RestClient.Newtonsoft.Json;
+
+var restClientFactory = new RestClientFactory();
+var movieService = restClientFactory
+    .CreateBuilder()
+    .With(httpClient)
+    .WithNewtonsoftJson()                // Enable Newtonsoft.Json serialization
+    .BaseUri(new Uri("https://api.example.com"))
+    .Build<IMovieReviewService>();
+
+var movies = await movieService.GetAllMovies();
+```
+
+### Using with Dependency Injection
+
+Add the required services to your `IServiceCollection`:
+
+```csharp
+using Activout.RestClient;
+using Activout.RestClient.Helpers.Implementation;
+using Activout.RestClient.ParamConverter;
+using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
+
+public static IServiceCollection AddRestClient(this IServiceCollection services)
+{
+    services.TryAddTransient<IDuckTyping, DuckTyping>();
+    services.TryAddTransient<IParamConverterManager, ParamConverterManager>();
+    services.TryAddTransient<IRestClientFactory, RestClientFactory>();
+    services.TryAddTransient<ITaskConverterFactory, TaskConverter3Factory>();
+    return services;
+}
+
+// In your Startup.cs or Program.cs
+services.AddRestClient();
+services.AddHttpClient();
+
+// Register your specific API client
+services.AddSingleton<IMovieReviewService>(provider =>
+{
+    var httpClient = provider.GetRequiredService<IHttpClientFactory>().CreateClient();
+    var restClientFactory = provider.GetRequiredService<IRestClientFactory>();
+    
+    return restClientFactory.CreateBuilder()
+        .With(httpClient)
+        .WithSystemTextJson()
+        .BaseUri(new Uri("https://api.example.com"))
+        .Build<IMovieReviewService>();
+});
+```
+
+## Step 4: Unit Testing with MockHttp
+
+Use `RichardSzalay.MockHttp` to mock HTTP responses in your unit tests without making real HTTP calls.
+
+### Basic Test Setup
+
+```csharp
+using Activout.RestClient;
+using Activout.RestClient.Newtonsoft.Json;
+using RichardSzalay.MockHttp;
+using Xunit;
+
+public class MovieReviewServiceTests
+{
+    private const string BaseUri = "https://api.example.com";
+    private readonly IRestClientFactory _restClientFactory;
+    private readonly MockHttpMessageHandler _mockHttp;
+
+    public MovieReviewServiceTests()
+    {
+        _restClientFactory = new RestClientFactory();
+        _mockHttp = new MockHttpMessageHandler();
+    }
+
+    private IMovieReviewService CreateMovieReviewService()
+    {
+        return _restClientFactory.CreateBuilder()
+            .WithNewtonsoftJson()
+            .With(_mockHttp.ToHttpClient())           // Use mock HTTP client
+            .BaseUri(BaseUri)
+            .Build<IMovieReviewService>();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing GET Requests
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task GetAllMovies_ReturnsMovieList()
+{
+    // Arrange
+    _mockHttp
+        .When($"{BaseUri}/api/movies")
+        .WithHeaders("Accept", "application/json")
+        .Respond("application/json", "[{\"Title\":\"Inception\",\"Year\":2010}]");
+
+    var service = CreateMovieReviewService();
+
+    // Act
+    var movies = await service.GetAllMovies();
+
+    // Assert
+    var movieList = movies.ToList();
+    Assert.Single(movieList);
+    Assert.Equal("Inception", movieList[0].Title);
+    Assert.Equal(2010, movieList[0].Year);
+}
+
+[Fact]
+public async Task GetAllMovies_ReturnsEmptyList_WhenNoMovies()
+{
+    // Arrange
+    _mockHttp
+        .When($"{BaseUri}/api/movies")
+        .Respond("application/json", "[]");
+
+    var service = CreateMovieReviewService();
+
+    // Act
+    var movies = await service.GetAllMovies();
+
+    // Assert
+    Assert.Empty(movies);
+}
+```
+
+### Testing POST Requests
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task SubmitReview_CreatesNewReview()
+{
+    // Arrange
+    var movieId = "movie-123";
+    _mockHttp
+        .When(HttpMethod.Post, $"{BaseUri}/api/movies/{movieId}/reviews")
+        .WithHeaders("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
+        .Respond(request =>
+        {
+            // Echo back the request with an added ReviewId
+            var content = request.Content!.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
+            content = content.Replace("{", "{\"ReviewId\":\"review-456\", ");
+            return new StringContent(content, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
+        });
+
+    var service = CreateMovieReviewService();
+    var review = new Review(5, "Excellent movie!");
+
+    // Act
+    var result = await service.SubmitReview(movieId, review);
+
+    // Assert
+    Assert.Equal("review-456", result.ReviewId);
+    Assert.Equal(5, result.Stars);
+    Assert.Equal("Excellent movie!", result.Text);
+}
+```
+
+### Testing PUT Requests
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task UpdateReview_ModifiesExistingReview()
+{
+    // Arrange
+    var movieId = "movie-123";
+    var reviewId = "review-456";
+    _mockHttp
+        .When(HttpMethod.Put, $"{BaseUri}/api/movies/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}")
+        .Respond(request => request.Content!);  // Echo back the request
+
+    var service = CreateMovieReviewService();
+    var updatedReview = new Review(4, "Good, but not great");
+
+    // Act
+    var result = await service.UpdateReview(movieId, reviewId, updatedReview);
+
+    // Assert
+    Assert.Equal(4, result.Stars);
+    Assert.Equal("Good, but not great", result.Text);
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Query Parameters
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task QueryMoviesByDate_UsesQueryParameters()
+{
+    // Arrange
+    var begin = new DateTime(2020, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
+    var end = new DateTime(2020, 12, 31, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
+    
+    _mockHttp
+        .When($"{BaseUri}/api/movies?begin=2020-01-01T00%3A00%3A00.0000000Z&end=2020-12-31T00%3A00%3A00.0000000Z")
+        .Respond("application/json", "[{\"Title\":\"Tenet\",\"Year\":2020}]");
+
+    var service = CreateMovieReviewService();
+
+    // Act
+    var movies = await service.QueryMoviesByDate(begin, end);
+
+    // Assert
+    var movieList = movies.ToList();
+    Assert.Single(movieList);
+    Assert.Equal("Tenet", movieList[0].Title);
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Error Responses
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task GetReview_ThrowsRestClientException_WhenNotFound()
+{
+    // Arrange
+    var movieId = "movie-123";
+    var reviewId = "invalid-review";
+    
+    _mockHttp
+        .Expect(HttpMethod.Get, $"{BaseUri}/api/movies/{movieId}/reviews/{reviewId}")
+        .Respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, _ => new StringContent(
+            JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
+            {
+                Errors = new[]
+                {
+                    new { Code = 404, Message = "Review not found" }
+                }
+            }),
+            Encoding.UTF8,
+            "application/json"));
+
+    var service = CreateMovieReviewService();
+
+    // Act & Assert
+    var exception = await Assert.ThrowsAsync<RestClientException>(
+        () => service.GetReview(movieId, reviewId));
+    
+    Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, exception.StatusCode);
+    
+    var error = exception.GetErrorResponse<ErrorResponse>();
+    Assert.NotNull(error);
+    Assert.Equal(404, error.Errors![0].Code);
+    Assert.Equal("Review not found", error.Errors[0].Message);
+    
+    // Verify the expected call was made
+    _mockHttp.VerifyNoOutstandingExpectation();
+}
+```
+
+### Using Expect vs When
+
+MockHttp provides two ways to set up expectations:
+
+**`When()`** - Matches any number of requests:
+```csharp
+_mockHttp.When($"{BaseUri}/api/movies")
+    .Respond("application/json", "[]");
+```
+
+**`Expect()`** - Expects exactly one request:
+```csharp
+_mockHttp.Expect($"{BaseUri}/api/movies")
+    .Respond("application/json", "[]");
+
+// Verify all expectations were met
+_mockHttp.VerifyNoOutstandingExpectation();
+```
+
+### Testing with Custom JSON Settings
+
+For System.Text.Json:
+```csharp
+using System.Text.Json;
+using System.Text.Json.Serialization;
+using Activout.RestClient.Json;
+
+var jsonOptions = new JsonSerializerOptions(SystemTextJsonDefaults.SerializerOptions)
+{
+    DefaultIgnoreCondition = JsonIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingNull
+};
+
+var service = _restClientFactory.CreateBuilder()
+    .WithSystemTextJson(jsonOptions)
+    .With(_mockHttp.ToHttpClient())
+    .BaseUri(BaseUri)
+    .Build<IMovieReviewService>();
+```
+
+For Newtonsoft.Json:
+```csharp
+using Newtonsoft.Json;
+using Activout.RestClient.Newtonsoft.Json;
+
+var jsonSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings(NewtonsoftJsonDefaults.DefaultJsonSerializerSettings)
+{
+    NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore
+};
+
+var service = _restClientFactory.CreateBuilder()
+    .WithNewtonsoftJson(jsonSettings)
+    .With(_mockHttp.ToHttpClient())
+    .BaseUri(BaseUri)
+    .Build<IMovieReviewService>();
+```
+
+## Complete Test Example
+
+Here's a complete test class demonstrating various scenarios:
+
+```csharp
+using System.Net;
+using System.Text;
+using Activout.RestClient;
+using Activout.RestClient.Newtonsoft.Json;
+using Newtonsoft.Json;

+            .BaseUri(BaseUri)
+            .Build<IMovieReviewService>();
+    }
+
+    [Fact]
+    public async Task GetAllMovies_Success()
+    {
+        _mockHttp
+            .When($"{BaseUri}/api/movies")
+            .Respond("application/json", "[{\"Title\":\"Inception\"}]");
+

+            .Respond(request =>
+            {
+                var content = request.Content!.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
+                content = content.Replace("{", "{\"ReviewId\":\"456\", ");
+                return new StringContent(content, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
+            });
+

+        var review = new Review(5, "Great!");
+        var result = await service.SubmitReview("123", review);
+
+        Assert.Equal("456", result.ReviewId);
+        Assert.Equal(5, result.Stars);
+    }
+
+    [Fact]
+    public async Task GetReview_NotFound_ThrowsException()
+    {
+        _mockHttp
+            .When(HttpMethod.Get, $"{BaseUri}/api/movies/123/reviews/999")
+            .Respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, _ => new StringContent(
+                JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
+                {
+                    Errors = new[] { new { Code = 404, Message = "Not found" } }
+                }),
+                Encoding.UTF8,
+                "application/json"));
+
+        var service = CreateService();
+
+        var exception = await Assert.ThrowsAsync<RestClientException>(
+            () => service.GetReview("123", "999"));
+
+        Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, exception.StatusCode);
+        var error = exception.GetErrorResponse<ErrorResponse>();
+        Assert.Equal(404, error!.Errors![0].Code);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Custom Headers
+
+```csharp
+[Get("/secure-endpoint")]
+[Header("Authorization", "Bearer {token}")]
+Task<Data> GetSecureData(string token);
+
+// Or use HeaderParam for dynamic headers
+[Get("/data")]
+Task<Data> GetData([HeaderParam("X-Custom-Header")] string customValue);
+```
+
+### Form Data
+
+```csharp
+[Post("/login")]
+[ContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")]
+Task<LoginResponse> Login([FormParam] string username, [FormParam] string password);
+```
+
+### Multipart Form Data
+
+```csharp
+[Post("/upload")]
+[ContentType("multipart/form-data")]
+Task<UploadResponse> UploadFile([PartParam] string description, [PartParam] Stream file);
+```
+
+### Synchronous Methods
+
+Both synchronous and asynchronous methods are supported:
+
+```csharp
+// Async (recommended)
+Task<Movie> GetMovieAsync(string id);
+
+// Sync
+Movie GetMovie(string id);
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Null values in parameters**: Null values mean no parameter is sent. Use empty string to send a parameter without a value.
+
+2. **JSON serialization errors**: Ensure you've installed and configured either `Activout.RestClient.Json` or `Activout.RestClient.Newtonsoft.Json`.
+
+3. **Path parameter not replaced**: Ensure the parameter name in `{paramName}` matches the method parameter name or use `[PathParam("paramName")]`.
+
+4. **MockHttp not matching requests**: Check the exact URL, headers, and HTTP method. Use `_mockHttp.GetMatchCount()` to debug.
