CocoaRestClient is a Mac OS X app for testing HTTP/Restful endpoints. I love curl, but sometimes I need my output XML or JSON pretty printed. I want to be able to save frequent PUT and POST bodies for later and copy and paste responses easily. Think of this as a curl with a light UI. The goal of this project is to build a lightweight native Cocoa app for testing and debugging HTTP Restful services. This project was greatly inspired by the Java rest-client.
