What is httpie/cli?
HTTPie is a command-line HTTP client designed as a modern alternative to curl, with built-in support for JSON, colored output, sessions, and plugins. Developers use it for API testing, debugging, and exploration because it offers a more intuitive syntax and better formatting than traditional tools. It's particularly useful for REST API development and DevOps workflows where readable, interactive HTTP requests are needed.
