I'm currently using Bruno, which uses its own format "Bru Lang" for storing HTTP requests as plain text[1]. The VS Code extension is great but I'd much prefer the standard backed by 30k+ stars was extended instead of a new format to introduce fragmentation in this space.

100%, this.

Im a bit flabbergasted I haven’t yet found a HTTP/API client that simply runs off an oAPI spec. Sure, most support «import of..», but do any support oAPI’s as continuously evolving source of truth?

Our oAPI spec is auto-generated (based off ts-rest.com contracts), and I’d love one that understands this, including auto-refreshing/importing of spec when it changes on disk.

If anyone knows of this magical piece of software, please share!

Thank you all for showing interest in this project. You described exactly what motivated me to create this language – support for OpenAPI specs. I just wanted to have a language where I could import an OpenAPI spec and leverage the intelligence, because, like you, in all my projects the specs were autogenerated.
