Orange-OpenSource/hurl — Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text.

Description and use

Orange-OpenSource/hurl is a lightweight command‑line tool that lets developers define, execute, and verify HTTP requests using a simple, human‑readable plain‑text syntax. It streamlines API testing and debugging by combining request execution with built‑in assertions, making it ideal for backend development and DevOps workflows. The project is open source and can be integrated into CI pipelines or used interactively for rapid API prototyping.

Problem

Orange-OpenSource/hurl helps teams reuse service infrastructure instead of rebuilding common backend pieces.

Outcome

Medium: useful for prototypes or internal workflows, with dependency and maintenance checks before production.

Workflow

• ship API services faster
• reuse backend infrastructure
• standardize service patterns

Evidence

Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text.
