If you're into CLI-based tools, httpie, and its partners in crime: http-prompt and jq, are worth checking out 😎

If you like httpie, you should definitely try curl! It's just like httpie, except that it is more flexible (not just for HTTP), and leaves things like syntax highlighting up to you (just pipe the output into your favourite program - like jq for instance!).

I use httpie if it happens to be installed, like on my development laptop(s), otherwise it's curl all the way 👍🏻
