CocoaRestClient is a Mac OS X app for testing HTTP\/Restful endpoints.<\/p>\n

I love curl, but sometimes I need my output XML or JSON pretty printed. I want to be able to save frequent PUT and POST bodies for later and copy and paste from responses easily. Think of this as curl with a light UI.<\/p>\n

The goal of this project is to build a lightweight native Cocoa app for testing and debugging HTTP Restful services. This project was greatly inspired by the Java rest-client (http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/rest-client\/).<\/p>\n
