Cartero Releases Free Native HTTP Client
Cartero is a free, open-source graphical HTTP client maintained by Dani Rodríguez that lets developers test REST, SOAP and XML-RPC APIs and perform multiple HTTP methods and payloads. It stores projects as Git-friendly TOML files, supports header/body customization and variable binding for secrets, offers downloads via Flathub, Snap, Homebrew and Scoop, and can be built from source with GNOME SDK 46+, meson, ninja and Rust.
Key Points
- 1Provides a native GUI HTTP client supporting REST, SOAP, XML-RPC and multiple HTTP methods.
- 2Stores requests in Git-friendly TOML, enabling portable, versioned API collections and offline ownership.
- 3Allows developers to integrate with package managers, build from source and contribute via GitHub.
Scoring Rationale
