Testing REST API [closed]

Question

I am developing a REST API on Django. What do other uses to craft json msgs to test? Is there a browser plugin, python lib, curl, something else?

Answer 1

If you want to write Python try using the Requests library to do some basic testing from the client side. There is a CLI tool based on this called httpie that you might also want to check out. You can also use curl for testing if you prefer the command line but it is probably easier to use Requests in the long run from Python code if you are dealing with a more complex API or want to do anything repeatedly.
