Postman vs cURL
Postman is a platform for building and testing REST APIs. It comes with a graphical user interface and has many useful features like organizing tests into collections, automated testing and API monitoring. Postman allows you to create environments, set variables and so on. You can write scripts through which developers can build automated tests. It also has version control and collaboration features which are useful for developers working in teams.
cURL is a command-line tool for transferring data using many network protocols and HTTP is one of them. It is useful in situations where you don’t require a graphical interface. It comes mostly pre-installed with many operating systems. It can also be easily integrated into scripts.
