restclient.el VS jq-mode

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:

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.

Seeing this news today, I decided to give jq another try and ended up discovering jq-mode [1] for emacs. It doesn't just support jq filter file editing, it supports jq in org-mode and something else called 'jq-interactively'. This interactive mode allows you to apply jq interactively on a JSON or YAML (with yq) buffer. The buffer contents become the filtered value when you finish editing the jq filter with a return. This is especially impressive to see in yaml files.
