What is CuteRest

CuteRest is an open source tool dedicated to communicate with a REST server. It's particulary useful to manage JSON request during developement phase. Actually, there are several tools for this purpose. You can use plugins for your browser, like Postman or use httpie as command-line from your console. But those applications do not provide a tree view of the JSON or XML response. You only have raw data, and you must use another software, like jsonviewer to view your content as a tree.
CuteRest does have both. It's a REST client which have different view to parse the response.

Linux

CuteRest works well on Linux. There aren't packages avaible for any distribution yet. I will publish a Debian package as soon as possible. For now, you'll need to compile it as described below.

From source

Compiling on Windows, OSX, Linux, and FreeBSD is really easy. But CuteRest needs at least Qt5.4. Older version will generate complaints during the compilation.

  • Download the community Qt 5.4 SDK from qt.io.
  • Download the source code from master branch.
  • From Qt Creator, File > Open project, then select cuterest.pro.
  • Compile and run it by clicking on the green button.

If you want to install it on your system, compile and install it from the command line by using qmake in your Qt installation path.

qmake cuterest.pro
make
sudo make install
