LiteClient

The fastest, most focused REST API client for Visual Studio Code.

LiteClient is a native extension built for developers who want a high-performance HTTP client without the bloat, forced cloud accounts, or telemetry of modern alternatives. It's not a web browser in a frame—it's a part of your IDE.

Why LiteClient?

In an era of bloated developer tools, LiteClient returns to the essentials:

• � Zero Startup Time: Restores your workspace instantly.
• 🔒 Total Privacy: No cloud syncing, no accounts, and absolutely zero telemetry.
• 🎨 Pure Native UX: Uses VS Code's native buttons, trees, and themes. No "Custom UI" friction.
• � Everything you need, nothing you don't: Collections, Environments, and History—without the noise.

Core Features

• ⚡ High Performance: Native implementation for minimal memory and CPU usage.
• 📁 Collections: Hierarchical organization for your API requests.
• 🌍 Environment Variables: Seamlessly switch between local, staging, and production.
• 🌓 Layout Flexibility: Smart two-panel or single-pane views.
• 🔑 Auth Support: Bearer Token, Basic Auth, and API Keys ready to go.
• 🧱 Rich Request Building: Full support for Query Params, Headers, and JSON/Form-data bodies.

Quick Start

1. Open the LiteClient view from the Activity Bar.
2. Click New Request in the sidebar.
3. Enter your URL (e.g., https://liteclient.com/hello).
4. Hit Send.

Privacy First

Your API keys and sensitive requests are your business. LiteClient stores all data locally in your VS Code global storage. No data ever leaves your machine unless you're the one sending the request.
