Reviewer scorecard
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“Define schema once, get types and validation. The TypeScript inference is seamless. Essential for any TypeScript project.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”

“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
“Zod standardized TypeScript validation. The ecosystem built around it (tRPC, AI SDK) proves its importance.”
