Tool to post json to a url

Question

Is there a quick tool (http client) that I can use to post different data to a Url for testing purpose. Like posting json object, modifying the headers (POST, PUT) for testing RESTful web service.

Solution 1

Although I haven't used it in that way myself I'm pretty sure http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ could do that for you with it's Request Builder.

Solution 2

There's an advanced REST Client plugin you can get for Google Chrome which I've used successfully. I find it a bit more straight forward and less confusing than Fiddler2.

Another really popular REST client that I've seen a lot of people use is Postman.
