## What it is
A tool that transpiles curl commands into equivalent code in Python, JavaScript, Go, and 27+ other languages or formats like HTTPie and HAR. It is available as an npm library, a CLI drop-in curl replacement, and a web app.

## Use cases
- convert a curl command to Python requests code
- turn 'copy as cURL' from browser DevTools into JavaScript fetch
- generate HTTP client code in Go, Rust, or PHP from a curl command
- convert curl to HTTPie or Wget syntax
- use as a drop-in curl replacement that prints code instead of making requests

## When to choose
- you have a working curl command and want equivalent code in your language
- you copied a request as cURL from browser DevTools and need it as code
- you want to document HTTP requests as code snippets in many languages

## When to avoid
- you need protocols other than HTTP
- your curl command relies heavily on shell variables or complex subcommands
- you need a language generator as thorough as the Python one for an obscure target
