An HTTP request parser with rust and pest.rs

  REST Client Extension for Visual Studio Code

  I happened to have learned about parsing expression grammars a few days ago and got really excited about writing my own grammar. As I was missing this VS Code extension when working on neovim, an idea popped up: What if I write an HTTP grammar and an execute request from an interactive prompt?

• reqwest

  57 9,095 8.7 Rust

  An easy and powerful Rust HTTP Client

  After a quick check of the available rust http client libraries I opted for reqwest. It has a pretty simple API and it seems to be among the most used libraries for this matters. But I'm a bit concerned about all its dependencies so I might try ureq later.

  To write our grammar we will use pest. From the website:

• ureq

  A simple, safe HTTP client

• inquire

  A Rust library for building interactive prompts

  At this point I felt a bit lazy to implement the prompt so I searched for existing solutions, one of them being inquire. It has a pretty straight forward API, so to show an interactive select we just need this lines:

  HTTP request parser written in rust (by protiumx)

  This project turned out to be quite fun! I ended up naming it rq and you can see its source here
