pcurl

Does alternatives exist? Yes.

But do I want to use them? No.

So I built one.

Simply switch curl with pcurl and enjoy beautiful, highlighted JSON output automatically.

Installation

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd pcurl
bun install
bun link

Usage

It works just like curl, but better.

Basic GET Request

pcurl https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1

POST Request with Headers & Data

pcurl https://api.example.com/data \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"key": "value"}'

Why?

Because standard curl JSON output is ugly and unreadable. pcurl formats and colorizes it for you.
