Noodle: A delicious REST client for your terminal

Noodle, an open-source terminal REST client, has been released, allowing developers to write, send, inspect, and automate HTTP requests from readable YAML files without leaving the terminal. It supports TUI, CLI, scripts, and coding agents, with features like switchable environments, secure credential storage, and import/export from OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman, and Insomnia. The tool is designed to keep collections versioned beside code and is available via curl -LsSf https://noodlerest.dev/install.sh | sh.
