Recommended Tools

A random list of tools that I recommend.

  • Visual Studio Code
    • A great text editor with a huge list of plugins for editing and working with XML, JSON, encodings, etc.
    • I really like the HTTPYac extension.
      • This extension allows you to write and execute HTTP requests directly from VS Code. It makes it easy to test APIs and web services without leaving your coding environment.
  • What Every Web Developer Should Know About HTTP
    • If you have not worked with HTTP protocol much I highly recommend this short read. We will be documenting most HTTP calls in HTTP syntax in this book which is very concise.
  • https://hurl.dev
    • A command line tool for running HTTP requests defined in simple text files. Similar to HTTPYac but for the command line.
