rusttp

A fast, user-friendly HTTP client for the terminal — httpie, rewritten in Rust.

Why rusttp?

httpie is great — but it's Python. That means slow startup, a heavy runtime dependency, and noticeable latency on every invocation. rusttp gives you the same human-friendly syntax with the performance of a native binary.
