Are there any general purpose CRUD client applications?

Question

I am creating a CRUD style API using PHP Tonic, which uses the same URL (e.g. / somepath / person) to which you can execute POST, GET, PUT and DELETE requests. But I had a problem testing the API. Obviously it's easy to check for GET (just visit the URL with a browser), but how can I check the remaining 3 request methods?

I represent a client CRUD client where I get a simple text field where you can put the request parameters, URL field and submit button.

Is there a similar application, or should I make it?

Alternative question, can I use CURL for this? In which case, how?

Answer 1

Well, a very good question! The following Chrome extensions may do the job

• Advanced REST Client Application
• REST Console
• Postman REST Client

The second answer, yes, curl can do the job for you - here is an example .

Answer 2

I used the "Advanced REST Client Application" plugin for Chrome and it works great and is easy to use.
