Different use case, but when I am working in a intellij environment I like to use their http client, based on .http files. I find it elegant.

Huh, I’ve lived inside phpstorm for years and didn’t realize there was an http client
Not only that, but it's also fairly potent, allowing you to pass variables from one request to another, transform response, inject .env vars etc.

If all of your team is using Jetbrains products, you can also add the http files to the version control so everyone could have the requests ready to use.

In other words: it's a beast

BTW, you might also find useful to know that you also have a very powerful SQL environment as well ;)

Rad thanks for the info. I did know about the SQL capabilities, at least. :)
