Api testing tool made with rust to use for api developement (Kind of Tui)

This Rust project provides a simple yet powerful tool for making HTTP requests and handling responses. Built with reqwest for performing HTTP requests, tokio for asynchronous runtime, and serde_json for JSON parsing, it offers functionalities to make GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH requests, manage request headers and body, and pretty-print JSON responses.

Features

Support for various HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH.
JSON body and headers configuration via external files.
Pretty-printing JSON responses directly within the application.
Configuration through a config.json file for default values.
Synchronous reading of user inputs and asynchronous request handling.
