scalar VS curlconverter

Scalar - alternative to redoc that has been frantically building out the premium features that redoc's parent company charges absorbent prices for.

Post launch- Launchaco was getting a dozen or so paying customers a day and eventually was acquired by Namecheap. I recently left and now am working on a free / open source tool which you can check out here: https://github.com/scalar/scalar :)

damn son, that namecheap paycheck must have been a pretty penny.

You could take the OpenAPI json generated from this project and feed it to https://docs.scalar.com/swagger-editor which generates boilerplate in several formats, including Python

hey! co-founder here, appreciate your comment.

Ah that's great feedback!

As for the rendering of the schemas, we have a pull request in draft from this morning! hopefully will be done ASAP

Simple way would be to add a “curl” options, looks like you’d just need to write up a method that matches this Request interface [0] to some curl command substrings you mash together.

Problem is of course: the headers and options are all going to be included. You could make it so it organizes them better though, maybe indenting and grouping like-options together so it’s easier to remove stuff.

I made a fork of the Chrome DevTools that adds exactly this. You can tell Chrome to use a different version of the DevTools if you start it from the command line

Someone added a ColdFusion Markup Language generator to https://curlconverter.com/cfml/ last year and after a few months I decided to remove it since I've never heard of it so nobody could possibly be using it, and the next day the guy who added support for it and 3 other people complained about it, so it seems like they're out there.

Relevant tools: - Browser dev tools and front-end tooling to debug JS and reconstruct requests in your code - grep.app and SourceGraph to check open-source parsers for some URLs (often, there are such repositories) - curlconverter to quickly draft a script from the cURL command - Regex and regex playgrounds to extract data from inline JavaScript - GraphQL introspection tools - Optionally, Fiddler or Wireshark to intercept and debug network requests (I don't use but my teammate does)

Original author here. Many smart people have contributed code over the years, but one warrants special mention.

About a year ago, verhovsky showed up out of nowhere. He rewrote the core of the application and increased the professionalism across the board. (dedicated domain, github page hosting, UI refresh, privacy improvements, and much more)

The tree-sitter PR is a monster achievement: https://github.com/curlconverter/curlconverter/pull/278

Search for parseAnsiCString in there. I don't think that had ever been implemented in JavaScript before.

For you, verhovsky, 10x engineer might be an understatement. Thank you!
