Thunder Client is great, the developer answer to questions, feature requests and bugs so fast. It's really wow amazing to use vscode for both testing the api ad coding. Using break points has a plus since you remains in the same software.

I want to add Bruno I have been using it for a bit, and it is so simple and minimalistic. Some other advantages include:

  • Stores your collections directly in a folder.
  • Uses a plain text markup language called Bru (.bru).
  • Offline-only.
