I've really been enjoying HTTPie: https://httpie.io/ https://httpie.io/ Postman has long been too bloated to be useful.

  On windows I even got to enjoy using Invoke-WebRequest directly. Extremely useful since powershell has structured output and input.

    I also found it surprisingly how pleasant this was. For all Powershell’s quirks, this is one of those features that just makes sense to me.

  I almost ignored HTTPie as a Postman alternative because I thought it was CLI only but learned that it has a GUI now. Unfortunately the GUI seems to be proprietary. Also we were looking for HTTP/2 support which neither Postman not HTTPie have and found xh which is a HTTPie clone in Rust.

  i really like httpie, i didn't know they had an application coming out. This is good stuff.

    The GUI is not under an open source license.

      I wonder what it is about API client GUIs that warrants such cut-throat competition and practices..
