Overview

Package jokeapi is the library behind the jokeapi command line: the HTTP client, request shaping, and the typed data models for official-joke-api.appspot.com.

The Client sets a real User-Agent, paces requests so a busy session stays polite, and retries the transient failures (429 and 5xx) that any public site throws under load.
