Reviewer scorecard
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
