This is a very uninformed comment.

It’s like saying web browser doesn’t do anything that curl doesn’t. It’s technically true but not really.

But it’s also technically incorrect. Even on request level, not speaking about all the things on top that Postman does, Postman also does grpc and graphql (edit: and websocket), which curl doesn’t.

Once you start adding all the features, it’s very hard to replace Postman with anything.



I'm pretty sure curl does support GraphQL. It's a little weird with the formatting but it can be done.

Postman can even export a GraphQL request to a curl command.


ah you might be right.
