What alternative to ‘postman’ do you like the most for simply testing a bunch of REST services?
Insomnia.rest generally is my tool: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia
Thunder Client if you like to keep all the relevant requests n data inside the project directory, probably good for teams: https://open-vsx.org/extension/rangav/vscode-thunder-client
With VS-Codium (vscode with the microsoft telemetry scraped out): https://vscodium.com/

Same here, absolutely love being able to write HTTP requests like code! With the auto completion I’m 10x faster writing requests than using Postman or Insomnia. You can define multiple requests in one file and execute them like a script. There’s also a templating feature which you can use for different environments.
curl?
https://hurl.dev is pretty sweet.
SoapUI open source version works pretty well and does not require a logon to save your projects
I’ve recently been looking at Hopscotch: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch
But the free version of Postman seems to offer everything we’d want.
I’ll use REST Client in visual studio code when working on Azure functions etc
Curl. Or if I need to chain stuff together for auth reasons or whatever, sometimes ill just pop into a python virtualenv and use
requests
Curl
Sometimes swagger UI
Why switch? Postman is still my go-to
Insomnia or just plain old cURL
And which ones handle injecting base 64 encoded file content (100MB) into the json body well? I’ve been using SoapSonar, but I’m having issues with this at the moment.
Depends on what tests I want to do. Sometimes I just make a python script.
