restclient.el VS hurl

plz-see: Interactive HTTP client, similar to restclient and verb, but using Elisp instead of a special text-based syntax.

There's a great Emacs mode, and it looks like it works in the same way, putting it in a file:

Emacs enthusiasts have https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el

I see some parallels to Hurl, but having everything inside Emacs is hard to beat, just thinking about using M-x jq-interactivly for json responses ...

I recently switch from custom Bash wrappers around curl to restclient.el [1]. It has similar features. Especially nice is the integration with jq for fetching specific data (or inspection of results with jq-mode). And, whoever is inclined to appreciate it, the fact that I can stay within Emacs. No need to get familiar with a new UI/UX.

I tried Hurl after Insomnia went the way of Postman. The highlights you list were the strong drivers for testing it out. Where Hurl fell short was composing requests. Example: X.hurl response has authToken. Y.hurl uses authToken. Z.hurl uses authToken. There's no import ability[1], so you've got to use other tooling to copy X.hurl into Y.hurl and Z.hurl.

Ultimately settled on Bruno. It's backed by readable text files[2] as well. The CLI works for scripting. And the GUI is familiar enough that I've managed to convert Postman holdouts at my dayjob.

I haven't used it myself, but maybe something like Hurl? It's not a GUI like Postman though

No, you got what's you write. If you want, you can see the run curl's command, save it in a script and replay it without Hurl. You can check the source code here [1]

You might check out hurl for a RestAPI tool replacement. There is also a vim plugin for it, although I have not used it. Someone already mentioned dadbod (which I think works great on its own), but if you are curious there is also a plugin to add a UI on top of it.

just write a simple frontend on top of https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl

We've a more "classic" changelog in GitHub [1], I see the blog post as an editorial view of the changelog: highlights of main features/changes with some context.

I must say that the name is already taken by another tool language https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl which is a very good idea(similar to httpYac)

That's why we have hurl
