I use cURL a lot. I can see how this would maybe somewhat useful for working very quickly, but the wiki-given use cases of k-v pairs and lists are simple enough in raw JSON. Something that would be helpful is for cURL, HTTPie, Postman, Fiddler, etc to standardize on a request/response pair format such as Chrome's HAR. There are some tools in NPM and the below HAR to cURL too, so I think native HAR support would be more helpful than a JSON builder. https://mattcg.github.io/har-to-curl/ https://mattcg.github.io/har-to-curl/
