GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS

Dark/light theme:
Change the colour theme to suit your work environment.

Request history:

Formatted input/output:
Provides an IDE like experience when editing request body and headers. Automatically formats request/response body syntax and colour based on content type.

Content type:
Supports JSON, XML, and form encoded data by default. Additional content types can be used by setting a custom content type header.

New and improved:
Completely re-written, new styling, layout, colours, additional features and improved performance.
