xh alternatives
xh is a free command-line HTTP client for sending requests, with HTTPie-style syntax for headers, query strings and request bodies. It handles JSON and form data, multipart and raw content, and input from a file or standard input. Response tools include pretty-printing, selecting headers or body output, and saving downloads; authentication options include basic, bearer and digest. It also supports TLS controls and can translate requests into curl commands.

A different client may suit you better if you need a graphical interface, shared API work, or broader design and testing tools. xh is available on Android, Linux, macOS and Windows, but its project notes that it does not implement every HTTPie feature, has no plugin system, and has less documentation than HTTPie. When comparing alternatives, weigh whether you need only a fast terminal client or a wider API workflow, which protocols and testing features matter, and whether a free plan covers your needs or paid tiers are worthwhile.
