Use case of .http files in Visual Studio

An API .http file a feature provided by Visual Studio 2022 for testing ASP.NET Core projects. This serves as a convenient way to send HTTP requests and view responses directly within the Visual Studio IDE.

Further more, the VS 2022 .http file editor allows you to define HTTP requests that you want to send to test API endpoints.

It comes with an easy way to specify the details of HTTP requests including

• URL
• HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT.,DELETE)
• headers,
• query parameters
•  request body

After completion of the a request, Visual Studio IDE displays the response directly within the editor itself,  allowing an easy way to view the response status code, headers, and body.
