JarCastingSlate Core 
This is a base library for utilizing the ability to pull and parse default responses from Slate. Currently this is used to parse their default response format so that the developer can transition immediately to consuming and working with the data they are trying to work with, rather than working on interacting with the Slate Json.
Those who utilize the library are going to need to extend the DefaultJsonProtocol with their custom json class and then they can place a Request for the object.
To make a request simply create a request and then retrieve it, or utilize the SingleRequest feature on the accompanying object.
To Utilize From SBT
resolvers += Resolver.sonatypeRepo("snapshots")
libraryDependencies := "edu.eckerd" %% "slate-core" % "0.1.0"
First You Must Have A Class and a Json Representation for the class
scala> import edu.eckerd.integrations.slate.core.DefaultJsonProtocol
import edu.eckerd.integrations.slate.core.DefaultJsonProtocol
scala> case class NameID(name: String, id: String)
defined class NameID
scala> object myProtocol extends DefaultJsonProtocol {
| implicit val NameIDFormat = jsonFormat2(NameID)
| }
defined object myProtocol
If you want to make a SingleRequest Use The Single Request Feature. You will need to make sure your jsonProtocols are in scope to Unmarshall the response. You can write blocking code if you want to, but I don't recommend it.

scala> val futureResponse = Request.SingleRequest[NameID]("user", "password", "https://www.testendpoint.com")
futureResponse: scala.concurrent.Future[Seq[NameID]] = List()
scala> val response = Await.result(futureResponse, 1.second)
response: Seq[NameID] = List(NameID(ExampleName,ExampleID))
For Repeated Uses Utilize Your own actor system and actor materializer.
