What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

An Emacs major mode for manually exploring and testing HTTP REST web services from plain-text query sheets. It runs requests and pretty-prints responses as XML, JSON, or images.

Use cases

  • test REST APIs from within Emacs
  • run HTTP requests from a plain text file
  • pretty-print JSON and XML API responses
  • copy requests as curl commands
  • explore and debug web service endpoints

When to choose

  • you live in Emacs and want to test APIs without leaving the editor
  • you prefer plain-text, version-controllable request files over GUI clients
  • you want lightweight ad-hoc HTTP exploration with syntax highlighting

When to avoid

  • you need a full GUI API client with collections and environments
  • you don't use Emacs
  • you need automated API test suites or CI integration
