Introducción

Hurl is a command-line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format. Chain multiple requests, capture response values into variables, and assert on status codes, headers, body content, and JSONPath expressions. Written in Rust on top of libcurl. Created by Orange (France Telecom) and open-sourced.

What Hurl Does

  • Plain text format — readable, version-controllable .hurl files
  • Request chaining — multiple requests in one file
  • Captures — extract values from responses into variables
  • Assertions — status, header, body, JSONPath, XPath, regex
  • Variables — inject via CLI or capture
  • Cookie handling — automatic across requests
  • Certificate — client certs and custom CA
  • Performance — libcurl-based, very fast
  • CI-friendly — --test mode with exit codes
  • Report — HTML, JSON, JUnit XML output

FAQ

Q: Hurl vs curl? A: curl is a single-request tool; Hurl orchestrates multiple requests with assertions. Hurl uses libcurl internally but adds chained requests, capture/assert, and test mode. Hurl is better for API testing.

Q: Compared to Postman? A: Hurl is plain text + CLI (Git-friendly, CI-native); Postman is a GUI (nice visuals but files don't diff well). Developers tend to prefer Hurl.
