## What it is
Kulala.nvim is a Neovim plugin providing a fully-featured HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket client interface inside the editor. It supports the JetBrains .http file spec with scripting, environment variables, authentication (including OAuth2), and response formatting.

## Use cases
- send http requests from neovim
- test rest apis using .http files
- run graphql queries inside my editor
- debug grpc and websocket endpoints
- script pre-request and post-request hooks for api testing
- manage oauth2 authentication for api requests
- replace postman with a vim-based api client

## When to choose
- you live in Neovim and want to make HTTP/API requests without leaving the editor
- you already use JetBrains .http files or the IntelliJ HTTP Client and want a compatible workflow
- you need scripting, environment variables, and request chaining for API testing

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based API client like Postman or Insomnia
- you don't use Neovim (consider Kulala VS Code, Zed, or Desktop variants instead)
- you're on an unsupported architecture or can't install cURL/git/tree-sitter-cli dependencies
