I use HTTPie all the time. It's not a curl replacement, it's a competitor in the space of CLI HTTP clients. The argument syntax is easier to use than curl, and it's geared for humans interacting with JSON APIs, including coloring and pretty printing output.

> I use HTTPie all the time. It's not a curl replacement, it's a competitor in the space of CLI HTTP clients. Sounds like a curl replacement to me. From wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL): "cURL is a command-line tool for getting or sending data including files using URL syntax."

  Curl is a lot more than something humans can use from the command line for http/s requests. This seems like a small tool with good ergonomics for http/s requests only.
