  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

  18 5,990 8.0 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.

  Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

• ureq

  A simple, safe 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.

• inquire

  2 239 7.7 Rust

  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:

• rq

  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
