req

Minimalist HTTP client CLI written in Go — fast, colorful, and simple.

Inspired by httpie, but even lighter.

Features

• GET and POST requests
• JSON body support (-d / --data)
• Custom headers (-H / --header, multiple allowed)
• Colored output (method, URL, status codes)
• Automatic pretty-printing of JSON responses
• Clear error messages
