    Now you have syntax highlighting and JSON parsing. Total install size: ~10MB. Total startup time: instant. Total RAM usage: negligible. Total feelings of superiority: immeasurable.

    As someone who often does curl API requests and also come up to idea of putting them in jq — I felt superior just by reading this, thank you

        I usually plop the response in a file and nvim that. Or write “3 lines of python” if I need anything more complex.


        EDIT:
        Never tried jq but read up on it a little, seems hella powerfull. Also, in my workplace postman is the default tool, which I find infuriaring as hell.
