What are .http Files in .NET?Definition: .http files are plain text files used to define and execute HTTP requests directly from within development environments like Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider.Purpose: Facilitate testing, debugging, and interacting with APIs without requiring external tools like Postman.Why Do We Use It? Simplifies testing of API endpoints during development. Integrates seamlessly into the development workflow. Allows quick iteration and validation of API requests/responses directly in the IDE.Impact on Application Development: Improves developer productivity and debugging experience. Production: No direct impact, as .http files are for development purposes only. Collaboration: Acts as documentation for API endpoints and their expected behaviours.Pros Lightweight and easy to use. IDE integration allows in-context testing. Can be committed to version control for shared API documentation. Supports various HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) with headers and payloads.Cons Limited to development environments; not a replacement for comprehensive API testing tools. Not suitable for automated or large-scale testing. Lacks advanced features (e.g., assertions, environment management) provided by tools like Postman or Swagger.
