Is your feature request related to a problem?

HTTP Payload Management: In hostHTTPRequest, you are marshaling/unmarshaling JSON for every request. This is fine for "checkers," but if you ever find a plugin doing heavy streaming, you might want to look at a binary format like MsgPack. For now, JSON is the right choice for DX (Developer Experience).
