darkURL — A Beautiful CLI for Formatting and Viewing HTTP Responses

darkURL

is a developer-focused command-line tool that makes raw HTTP responses easier to read directly in the terminal.

Instead of staring at unformatted curl output, pipe your HTTP response into dark and get a cleaner, more readable terminal view with formatted JSON, syntax highlighting, HTTP status information, and a polished dark-themed interface.

curl -i https://example.com | dark
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For example:

 darkURL
────────────────────────────────────────
Response Code : 200 Success
────────────────────────────────────────

{
  "status": "ok",
  "message": "Hello world"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

darkURL is designed for developers who frequently work with curl, REST APIs, HTTP requests, JSON APIs, web services, and terminal-based debugging.
The project is currently focused on a simple, fast CLI experience, with more HTTP tooling planned for the future.

Install: npm install -g darkurl-cli
