HTTL for Visual Studio Code

The VS Code HTTL extension provides rich language support for the HTTL programming language.

What is HTTL?

If you ask ChatGPT — or, back in the day, Google — 'What is an HTTP programming language?' they respond that HTTP is not a programming language.

But wait — while it's true that HTTP itself isn't a programming language, why don't they suggest a language that can be used for writing HTTP requests? Consider how SQL allows you to retrieve data from a database or how Terraform lets you write infrastructure code without worrying about specific details.

Imagine a language that:

• Is simple and intuitive.
• Is smart enough to offer IntelliSense for OpenAPI.
• Is flexible — you can save responses as variables and use them as building blocks for headers or body content in follow-up requests.
• Provides a native way to write test scenarios without mixing in JavaScript or Python.

🚀🚀🚀 Introducing HTTL 🎉

This is the first HTTP programming language that allows you to write code to query and test web APIs, replacing the need for UI tools like Postman or Insomnia.
