Can anyone who's used hurl explain whether there are any use cases where something like Postman can do something hurl can't or can do it much better? I haven't used Postman very often previously but at work my role may change to require much more testing work (that many in the industry would have traditionally used Postman for).
- jicea 3y agoI can't speak for Postman, but at work we use Hurl intensively in our CI/CD. Test files are commited, and using comments in Hurl files serve as a documentation of requests workflows. Another Hurl use case is, instead of testing APIs, you want to download datas. Like curl, Hurl can output an HTTP response body. Unlike curl, this response can be the last one of a complex workflow (data behind login for instance, you need to capture data from one request and inject in another request like CSRF tokens). Disclaimer: I'm one of the Hurl maintainers.
