The REST Client extension is a really useful tool to have at your disposal. In this article, I've really only scratched the surface of what it can do. It's well worth taking a few moments to look through the documentation in GitHub to find out what it's capable of.
I first came across the REST Client plugin a few years ago at a .NET Oxford Meetup event. As I recall, the presenter was using it to quickly test their API endpoints, seeing the response in a new tab within Visual Studio Code. It was such a perfectly simple implementation that I went and installed it that night. It was impressive, but until recently, I’d been using Postman as my go-to tool for checking out REST API calls. It had served me well and I’d invested a lot of time in setting up collections, but recently, I wanted to make some changes to my setup.
The REST Client extension by Huachou Mao is a seemingly simple, yet powerful tool to have at your disposal when working in a service-oriented environment. It allows you to quickly make calls to an API endpoint, and to easily repeat those calls, all within Visual Studio Code.
