Whats curl and why is everyone talking about it? or Can someone explain whats curl and how to use it?

oh wow thanks everyone! didn’t expect so many helpful replies lol.

i tried `curl https://google.com` and it actually worked! kinda cool seeing the raw HTML.

but now i’m curious—how do i use curl to send data to an API? like if i wanna test a POST request?

also, is there a way to save the output to a file?

thanks again y’all, this is way clearer than google.
