Hexmos Lama2 - Plain-Text Powered REST API Client for Teams | Product
Hunt

AboutP

Lama2 is a Plain-Text powered REST API client & manager built for
serious engineering teams. Lama2 specifies the .l2 syntax for
describing APIs, and implements a CLI to execute .l2 files. Engineers
collaborate on .l2 files using version control. Lama2 integrates
nicely with IDEs and text-editors as well. Think of Lama2 as Markdown
for APIs.

BenefitsP

 1. Plain-Text files: Store APIs in the Plain-Text .l2 API files.
    Simple and human-friendly syntax. Learn basics within minutes!
 2. Simple CLI: Launch the CLI tool l2 on API files to make REST API
    requests.
 3. Editor support: Invoke Lama2 from your favorite text editor or
    IDE. Helpful documentation and tool support to build editor
    extensions included.
 4. Longevity & track-ability: Commit .l2 files to git or other
    version control for long life & change tracking.
 5. Collaboration: Share API repo with teammates and colleagues to
    collaborate
 6. Documentation: Explore examples, how-tos, explanations,
    references, FAQ/RAQs, and diagrams. Documentation is a priority,
    so that you never have to get lost.
 7. Extensibility: .l2 syntax is implemented as a recursive descent
    parser, based on a formal grammar. Dig into details and implement
    new syntax (ex: to support websockets)
