About:
Cocoa Rest Client is a native macOS application designed for testing and debugging HTTP and REST APIs. It provides a user-friendly interface for sending requests, viewing headers, and inspecting response bodies. The tool simplifies API development by offering a visual alternative to command-line utilities like cURL.

Key Features:

Graphical interface for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests
Support for custom headers and authentication
Syntax highlighting for JSON and XML responses
Request history and saved request management

Use Cases:

Debugging API endpoints during backend development
Testing authentication flows and headers
Quickly inspecting JSON/XML responses from web services

Alternatives:

Postman – Postman offers more extensive collaboration and cloud features but is significantly heavier and requires an account.
Insomnia – Insomnia provides advanced plugin support and environments, though it is also a larger Electron-based application.
