xh is a fast, friendly command-line tool for sending HTTP requests, written in Rust. It reimplements HTTPie's design with a focus on improved performance.
Use cases
- send http requests from the terminal
- test rest apis from the command line
- httpie alternative that is faster
- make curl requests with friendlier syntax
- debug api endpoints
- send json post requests from cli
When to choose
- you want HTTPie-like ergonomics with better performance
- you need a lightweight, fast CLI HTTP client
- you test APIs regularly from the terminal
When to avoid
- you need HTTPie's plugins or advanced features xh doesn't implement
- you prefer a GUI API client like Postman
