I am designing a service that consumes data from REST based web service. I understand that there is multiple choice available when selecting between different modules.

There is a question that compare urllib2 vs requests but that post just provide answer as use Requests rather than things to be considered.

From application architecture point of view what are factors to be considered before selecting between following modules :

urllib

urllib2

http.client

requests

My application will accept data as either JSON or in XML.
