xh

xh is a friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests. It reimplements as much as possible of HTTPie's excellent design, with a focus on improved performance.

xh uses HTTPie's request-item syntax to set headers, request body, query string, etc:

• =/:= for setting the request body's JSON or form fields (= for strings and := for other JSON types).
• == for adding query strings.
• @ for including files in multipart requests e.g picture@hello.jpg or picture@hello.jpg;type=image/jpeg;filename=goodbye.jpg.
• : for adding or removing headers e.g connection:keep-alive or connection:.
• ; for including headers with empty values e.g header-without-value;.
• =@/:=@ for setting the request body's JSON or form fields from a file (=@ for strings and :=@ for other JSON types).
