A very sweet extension indeed. Been using this for the past 5 hours and find it very, very useful and intuitive. Thanks for making this available. I've been using the Rest Client extension in VSCode, Postman and also Insomnia as well and find this really handy to be embedded in the browser along with the JSON Viewer extension.
