Project Introduction: What is httui?

httui is a robust, terminal-based tool designed as an alternative to popular applications like Postman and Insomnia. Unlike these GUI-based applications, httui operates directly within the command line interface, offering a Text User Interface (TUI) that is inspired by the efficiency and keyboard-driven operations of Vim.

Why Use httui?

httui caters to developers who prefer a minimalistic, terminal-centric workflow, allowing them to manage HTTP requests without leaving their favorite command line environments. This approach not only speeds up the testing and debugging processes but also integrates smoothly with other command line tools and scripts.

Core Features

  • Vim-like Interaction: Enjoy the familiarity and efficiency of Vim-style commands to navigate and manage your HTTP requests.
  • Direct Terminal Execution: Execute and manage your HTTP requests directly from your terminal, streamlining your entire development workflow.
  • No GUI Overhead: With httui, the overhead of a graphical interface is eliminated, providing a faster and more responsive experience.

Ideal for:

  • Developers who thrive in a CLI-driven environment.
  • Users looking for a lightweight tool to handle HTTP requests.
  • Professionals who require a quick and efficient way to test APIs.

httui is open-source and actively developed with the aim of making HTTP request management as simple and efficient as possible for terminal enthusiasts. Join the community and contribute to shaping the future of terminal-based HTTP tools!
