reqit - Declarative file based HTTP client

This is a simple library which uses files to declare the HTTP request and to output information from the response. The file is a multi-document yaml file with the first document being the HTTP request properties and the second being the content that is to be sent, no yaml properties are need for this section just the raw data e.g. JSON, XML, Form, Strings etc...

An example file:

---
method: POST
url: https://postman-echo.com/post?foo1=bar1&foo2=bar2
headers:
  X-SOMETHING: Boom
---
{
  "a":1
}
