About:
Hurl is a command-line tool that runs and tests HTTP requests defined in plain text files. It combines the simplicity of curl with the ability to assert responses, making it ideal for API testing and development workflows. This tool allows you to write and execute requests in a human-readable format, streamlining the testing process.
Key Features:
  • Write requests in a simple, plain text format
  • Assert HTTP response headers and body values
  • Chain requests and capture values for stateful testing
  • Integrates easily with CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Functional testing of REST APIs
  • API development and debugging
  • Smoke testing and health checks
Alternatives:
  • curl – Hurl adds testing and assertion capabilities on top of curl's request functionality.
  • httpie – Hurl focuses on a file-based, script-like syntax for defining and testing sequences of requests.
