  HTTPie is a user-friendly command-line and web-based HTTP client designed
  for testing, debugging, and interacting with APIs and HTTP services. It
  provides expressive syntax that mirrors actual HTTP requests, formatted
  and syntax-highlighted output, native JSON support, file uploads, form
  submissions, persistent sessions, multiple authentication schemes
  (basic, digest, bearer, .netrc, and an extensible plugin system covering
  OAuth, AWS, NTLM, and more), download mode similar to wget, HTTPS and
  proxy support, and cross-platform installation across Linux, macOS,
  Windows, and FreeBSD. The companion HTTPie web app and Desktop client
  layer a graphical interface over the same request and response model
  that the CLI exposes.
