Is VScode's Rest Client better than Postman?

Making HTTP network requests has traditionally been the domain of Postman if you've ever been looking to emulate how they might work in a web application. Well now there's a new player in town that allows HTTP network requests to be made right from within your VScode terminal - Rest Client. You can install the rest client from the extensions tab in your VScode editor and then you can create a rest file using the .rest extension.

In this video we look at how we can make all types of HTTP requests from one .rest file in 4 minutes.

I like that you can simply keep that .rest file as tests in your project.
