If you use a VSCode-based editor, a good alternative can be the "REST Client" extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...

I’ve been burned a few times by these clients — difficult backups, changing licensing/commercial terms, hard to version — so now I prefer a few simple .http files that I can version in Git and easily read, even if the extension disappears.



That extension is excellent! Been using it for few years already


it’s so good. no context switching with a different app. also, there’s a fairly compatible version for emacs with the same name.


Can you save the full request details and full response details in one click as one file with this extension?

This is the feature I use the most.


Just tried. You can save the full response to a single file with one click, but it doesn’t include the original request.

I found an issue asking for the same feature: https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient/issues/1311
