It’s essentially an API testing tool. It is mostly used to poke endpoints on a development server and sometimes to learn the output patterns of a public API, what security concerns are there in stripping the UI?
That tradeoff can be worth it, but all I'm getting out of it here is reduced application footprint? I'd rather use the bloated tools or wait for someone with deeper pockets to make a less bloated tool. Or a similarly small project that writes it natively.
