httui is an alternative to the Postman
/Insomnia
application designed to run in the terminal. It's a TUI (Text User Interface) based application that simplifies the process of creating, executing, and managing HTTP requests directly in the terminal. Additionally, it has native integration with VIM, making request editing even more convenient for users familiar with this text editor.

Creating and switching between environments is a straightforward task in httui. You can easily define environments and select them according to your needs.
httui enables you to access variables using patterns, making variable substitution in requests more efficient and flexible.
You can organize your requests into logical groups, making it easier to organize and execute multiple related requests together.
httui allows you to reuse parameters or headers across all requests within a group, simplifying the configuration of similar requests.
You can use the result of one request as a value in another, saving time and making your requests more dynamic. You can also store results in shared variables for later access.
