Description: Run and Test HTTP Requests with plain text and curl
Author: Jean-Christophe Amiel
Latest version: 7.1.7

# Hurl

Hurl is a command line tool written in Rust that runs <b>HTTP requests</b> defined in a simple <b>plain text format</b>.

The `@orangeopensource/hurl` package allows JavaScript developers to use Hurl in npm scripts.

It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very
versatile, it can be used for <b>fetching data</b> and <b>testing HTTP</b> sessions: <b>HTML</b> content, <b>REST / SOAP / GraphQL</b> APIs, or any other <b>XML / JSON</b> based APIs.


```hurl
# Get home:
GET https://example.net
HTTP 200
[Captures]
csrf_token: xpath "string(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)"


# Do login!
POST https://example.net/login?user=toto&password=1234
X-CSRF-TOKEN: {{csrf_token}}
HTTP 302
```

Hurl can run HTTP requests but can also be used to <b>test HTTP responses</b>.
Different types of queries and predicates are supported, from [XPath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPath) and 
[JSONPath](https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/) on body response, to assert on status code and response headers.

It is well adapted for <b>REST / JSON APIs</b>

```hurl
POST https://example.org/api/tests
{
    "id": "4568",
    "evaluate": true
}
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
header "X-Frame-Options" == "SAMEORIGIN"
jsonpath "$.status" == "RUNNING"    # Check the status code
jsonpath "$.tests" count == 25      # Check the number of items
jsonpath "$.id" matches /\d{4}/     # Check the format of the id
```

<b>HTML content</b>

```hurl
GET https://example.org
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
xpath "normalize-space(//head/title)" == "Hello world!"
```

<b>GraphQL</b>

~~~hurl
POST https://example.org/graphql
```graphql
{
  human(id: "1000") {
    name
    height(unit: FOOT)
  }
}
```
HTTP 200
~~~

and even <b>SOAP APIs</b>

```hurl
POST https://example.org/InStock
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:m="https://example.org">
  <soap:Header></soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <m:GetStockPrice>
      <m:StockName>GOOG</m:StockName>
    </m:GetStockPrice>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
HTTP 200
```

## Installation

```
npm install --save-dev @orangeopensource/hurl
