What's the best way to make a CLI HTTP request for quick API testing? or How do you handle CLI HTTP r

If you're tired of `curl`'s flags, try httpie—it's way more human-friendly for cli http requests.

Syntax is cleaner, like `http GET example.com/api param==value`.

For debugging, pipe responses to `jq` (e.g., `curl ... | jq`) to pretty-print JSON. Saves me from wall-of-text hell.

Also, check out xh—it’s like httpie but faster.
