Curlie: curl’s power with httpie’s friendly syntax
Curlie combines curl’s full-featured capabilities with httpie’s intuitive command syntax, delivering a fast, pretty-printed CLI for API testing and debugging across platforms.
Curlie is a command‑line tool that wraps the robustness of curl with the simplicity of httpie. It targets developers, DevOps engineers, and API testers who need the complete feature set of curl but prefer a cleaner, more readable syntax.
All native curl options remain accessible, enhanced by syntax sugar that mirrors httpie’s request format. Responses, especially JSON, are automatically pretty‑printed, and output is streamed without buffering, making it ideal for real‑time debugging. The --curl flag reveals the exact curl command for documentation or sharing.
Available via Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop, apt‑compatible packages, and direct Go installation, Curlie runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Binary releases are compiled with Go, ensuring consistent performance across environments.
When teams consider Curlie, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
