Xh

aid: xh
name: Xh
description: xh is a friendly and fast command-line HTTP client written in Rust, designed as a modern, high-performance alternative
  to HTTPie. It reimplements HTTPie's request-item syntax and design with improved startup speed, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support,
  and availability as a single statically-linked binary. xh supports JSON and form data serialization, session management,
  authentication (basic, bearer, digest), SSL/TLS customization, multipart uploads, proxy configuration, and built-in curl
  command translation. Installable via Homebrew, Cargo, apt, pacman, and other package managers.
