C0D4669023yLooks like https://insomnia.rest in a vsCode extension....
Ooh it has inline tests, hmm maybe I don't need apache jmeter. -
pr0mis323yDefinitely, special for quick testing. but meh, I still prefer postman has my main driver for larger apis
-
@pr0mis3 what do you mean by large APIs? 🤔
You can do all you can with postman on it. -
pr0mis323y@GiddyNaya I mean large APIs collections and overall large projects. Sometimes there is just to much happening on VSCode (with the extensions there I use) and API related stuff I find myself still preferring Postman, mostly for organization reasons
-
@pr0mis3 Well that sounds more like a specific preference to me but that's all good.
From my perspective, since it already features collections that would make even more sense for larger projects. -
My favourite part is you don't need to test each part of your code outside vscode environment which saves time and overall it's also lightweight close to no-memory footprint unlike postman. I really don't know how large a collection could be to cause a lag but if I could open my large projects on vscode without issues... collections shouldn't be a problem as they're also just files.

Have you heard of "Thunder client"? Meh... That shit is cool. I came across it on my YouTube recommendations, installed and gave it a try. I'm probably not going back to postman.
