User reviews

This extension provided exactly what I was looking for - the ability to test an API which responds to HTTP POST requests with JSON responses. One feature I love is that it remembers previous requests which makes it very easy to fire off an earlier request again or change the JSON body of the request and then do the same. Excellent!
