Paw: The ultimate REST client for Mac

I find the Collections feature in Postman to be really helpful. Is there a similar feature in Httpie? I couldn't see anything on the github README.

HTTPie is a CLI client, and I don't think it would make sense for it to save the requests you make (as opposed to a GUI). Though, it has a nice persistence feature with sessions (https://github.com/jakubroztocil/httpie#sessions).

It's the nice thing with GUIs (Paw, Postman...)! Paw saves all your work in ".paw" documents that you can share with your team on Dropbox or Git. You can have many documents, and organize your API calls.

Hello, Paw looks nice.

Can it compare a response to a previously saved response? That would be handy for looking for regressions when refactoring the code behind an API.

Yeah, diffs on JSON responses are something we are thinking about! But tests/assertions are what would make your APIs regression proof.
