2. Visually inspect API Responses
Using API Dash, you can:
- Inspect the API Response (HTTP status code, error message, headers, body, time taken)
- View formatted code previews for responses of various content types like JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, SQL, etc.
- For APIs which return results as images, API Dash helps you save a lot of time by directly previewing these results and supports a wide variety of image file formats such as jpeg, png, gif, etc.

3. Generate Dart Code Automatically
API Dash is the only open source API client that supports advanced Dart code generation so that you can easily integrate APIs in your Dart/Flutter project. For each request, you can click on View Code to directly view the corresponding Dart code which you can then Copy and directly run it on DartPad.
