### **Features** ❤️ **Lightweight:** Crafted with minimalistic UI design. ⚡️ **Fast:** Send requests and get/copy responses in real-time.
HTTP Methods --- - `GET` - Requests retrieve resource information - `HEAD` - Retrieve response headers identical to those of a GET request, but without the response body. - `POST` - The server creates a new entry in a database - `PUT` - Updates an existing resource - `DELETE` - Deletes resource or related component - `CONNECT` - Establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource - `OPTIONS` - Describe the communication options for the target resource - `TRACE` - Performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource - `PATCH` - Very similar to `PUT` but makes a partial update on a resource - `` - Some APIs use custom request methods such as `LIST`. Type in your custom methods. ---
