Whats curl? Can someone explain how it works? or Newbie here: whats curl and why is it useful?

Curl is like the behind-the-scenes magician of the web. It’s a command-line tool that lets you interact with servers directly.

Why’s it cool? You can:
- Test APIs without writing code
- Download files super fast
- Debug weird web issues

Example: `curl -I https://example.com` shows just the headers—great for seeing server info.

For a GUI version, try [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/), but curl is faster once you learn it.
