I don't think it's really weird but using it as an http rest client for testing apis with restclient.el

Postman frustrated me because it was taking up all the memory on my computer to do really simple calls. I remembered the "emacs rocks" episode on restclient and gave it a shot. Such a nice package. Really unfortunate that the maintainer doesn't update the melpa package.

I use emacs restclient as well. It's not just good - it keeps you in the flow. No context switching to a different environment, just a quick cut 'n paste of the path and data you're working on.

Last MELPA update is 05/11; did I miss something?

Melpa package still misses restclient-jq.el AFAICT, the receipe for the package is not correct. Seemed to work at some point since someone merged a PR about that.

Not OP, but I suspect this is what s/he meant
