What Hacker News says
2 sourcesSeems nice for basic REST calls, but it's a bit of a saturated market IMO.
I personally prefer Postman for exploratory and sharing with colleagues, shakedown ( https://github.com/robwhitby/shakedown ) for pure bash scripts if restricted to that, and karateDSL ( https://github.com/intuit/karate ) for a complete solution including cucumber, js, test report generation etc..
