WizTools.org RESTClient

Checking HTTP communications is a task quite easy to carry out, but only if the right tools are at hand. One such application is WizTools.org RESTClient and it is dedicated to testing several types of RESTful webservices.

This Java-based program is ready to run without requiring any setup or configuration, since it carries all the necessary dependencies in the same package.

The main window is simple and clean, with multiple tabs, each one allowing users to access the desired module in the shortest time possible.

For this purpose, the workspace is split in two sections, the HTTP Request and the HTTP Response, each with its own set of tabs for keeping all the data neatly organized.

The extensive support for HTTP methods like GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, TRACE, HEAD, DELETE and OPTIONS makes this utility a solid testing instrument, but this is not all. WizTools.org RESTClient is equipped with some extra functions that make the package complete.

More precisely, inside the dedicated 'Tools' menu users have at their disposal a URL Encoder/Decoder application as well as a password Encoder/Decoder program. Thus, encoding and decoding addresses can be done with just a single click, the same being true for the encryption (Base64 encoding) and decryption of any password containing letters, numbers or symbols, combined in any way the user sees fit.

The controls for starting and stopping the trace server are placed under the same menu and one can even insert the URL address of the trace server and use it for HTTP requests checking.

All things considered, WizTools.org RESTClient can prove to be a decent alternative to many similar utilities and it has the advantage of running right out of the box. It may be a bit resource consuming since it is built on Java, but other than that in the end it will get the job done.
