Shameless plug, we've built hurl [1] to add some syntactic sugar over curl, with plain text. For example, you can write a text file post.hurl: POST https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login { "username": "YOUR.USERNAME", "password": "YOUR.PASSWORD" } and it will send the same POST request with a json body: hurl post.hurl You can add asserts on the response too: POST https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login { "username": "YOUR.USERNAME", "password": "YOUR.PASSWORD" } HTTP/1.0 200 [Asserts] jsonpath "$.status" == "LOGGED" Under the hood, we use libcurl and a Rust binding. The HTTP engine is curl because curl is awesome! [1] https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl
