About:
xh is a command-line HTTP client that sends requests and displays responses. It is designed as a friendly and fast drop-in replacement for HTTPie, written in Rust for performance. The tool features intuitive syntax, colorized output, and persistent sessions for efficient API testing.
|
Key Features:
- Drop-in replacement for HTTPie with familiar syntax
- Written in Rust for high performance and memory safety
- Supports JSON, forms, and file uploads
- Persistent sessions and automatic connection reuse
|
Use Cases:
- Testing and debugging REST APIs from the terminal
- Automating HTTP requests in scripts
- Inspecting and interacting with web services
|
Alternatives:
-
curl
– More powerful and ubiquitous, but with a less intuitive syntax for humans
-
httpie
– The original tool that xh emulates; xh is typically faster due to Rust implementation
-
wget
– Primarily focused on downloading files rather than interactive API requests
