Resting is a rest client WebExtension.
It is a very young project under an heavy development.
Mission
The mission of Resting is to simplify daily work of developer in testing and analyzing HTTP/REST requests.
Resting takes inspiration from Postman with the goal to be light and focused on the management of saved requests.
Privacy
Data is yours. Resting doesn't save in any servers data about the APIs you invoke or any other data about the usage of Resting. Everything is stored offline on your device, all the data is saved locally in the Indexed DB of your browser.

Principles
Resting tries to follow these principles:
- KISS and YAGNI, trying to maintain project light in code and libraries
- Keep the focus on result: the development cycle is composed by two steps: the first takes deliberately technological debt to ship features in a quick way, the second applies a phase of refactor to maintain the code clean.
The project follows the semantic versioning

License
Resting is released under GPL v3 license after commit 117e15a33e97bc9c0905139ca527398e77e79620
Resting was released under MIT license until v1.0.2
Why I changed license
I know Resting will never be a breakdown project, it is only a personal project and so the license change is only an ethical-political action.
I created Resting to solve my needs and to help users with needs like mine. My intent is to create a little community of users and contributors around the project to grow it up and so I want the project to stay free and accessible forever even when I will be no longer the main maintainer.
