HTTPie
HTTPie started as a CLI (http get example.com) and now includes a beautiful Desktop app (2025). It is famous for its human-friendly syntax.
When to Use
- CLI:
http POST api.com name=Johnis faster thancurl -X POST -d '{"name":"John"}' .... - Desktop: Cleanest UI in the business. AI-assisted request building.
- Quick Testing: Zero config needed.
Core Concepts
Simplified Syntax
: for headers (User-Agent:Chrome), = for string data (name=John), := for raw JSON (age:=25).
Sessions
Persistent sessions (cookies/headers) in CLI. http --session=logged-in API.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use the Desktop App: It syncs with the CLI.
- Use
--offline: To inspect how the request would look without sending it.
Don't:
- Don't use
curlfor JSON: Unless you are pasting to a colleague who doesn't have HTTPie. HTTPie is superior for JSON.
