Using VS Code as a postman alternative

If you have ever done some REST API development before, Then you might know for testing a REST API, we need Postman Software. In this post, I will discuss how to use VS Code as a postman alternative.

Why VS Code:

Almost everyone uses VS Code for development. If we can also use it for Test a Rest Api, then It would be better for us. In past, we have to use Postman for Test Rest API. But now we can use VS Code as a Postman alternative. So Let’s Start.

Installing Thunder Client:

We need an extension on VS Code for using it as a postman alternative. So let’s install it step by step.

1 — Search Thunder Client in Extensions Panel:

First, go to VS Code. Then search for “Thunder Client” in Extensions Panel.
