    vim-rest-console[0] has been my Postman alternative for years. It basically wraps curl and makes it super easy to make different requests from a single text file. Can even write YAML and have it converted to JSON before being sent in the body. Really great tool

    Been using vim-rest-console for a while. You can set variables, cURL options and enable http headers to get result highlighting.
  • rest.nvim - phenomenal but buggy plugin

    That's pretty cool. I've been using vim-rest-console for ages for this type of thing, but looking at this, maybe I should just roll my own, since that project seems to be unmaintained at this point.
