YARC: Easy-to-Use REST Client for Chrome
YARC (Yet Another REST Client) is a free and easy-to-use REST Client designed for Chrome. Developed by Paul Hitz, this powerful tool allows developers to develop, test, and debug RESTful APIs with ease.
One of the standout features of YARC is the ability to save favorite requests, including headers and payload, and re-use them with just a click of a button. Users can also import and export their favorite requests, making it convenient to share and collaborate with others. Additionally, favorites are automatically synced with your Google account, ensuring that they are accessible from any machine.
YARC also provides a comprehensive history feature, allowing users to view all previous requests and responses. With just a few clicks, users can easily run them again or filter out requests that are not of interest.
Another notable feature of YARC is the ability to customize headers. Users can choose from a wide range of existing request headers or create and save their own custom headers.
In addition to these features, YARC offers syntax highlighting for request responses, supporting JSON, XML, HTML, and CSS. Users can also see the duration of each request, making it easy to identify any bottlenecks. The REST Client supports various request methods, including GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, and OPTIONS. Users can even add custom request methods according to their needs.
YARC also includes features like HTTP Basic Authentication, responsive design, and a dark mode. Best of all, it is completely free with no strings attached.
Please note that the extension requires the "Read and change all your data" permission to send requests to any domain. However, YARC does not access or use your data in any way, ensuring your privacy and security.
With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, YARC is a valuable tool for developers working with RESTful APIs on the Chrome platform.
