General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.
It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions.
Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.
Hurl can run HTTP requests but can also be used to test HTTP responses. Different types of queries and predicates are supported, from [XPath] and [JSONPath] on body response, to assert on status code and response headers.
It is well adapted for REST / JSON APIs
and even SOAP APIs
Hurl can also be used to test the performance of HTTP endpoints
And check response bytes
Finally, Hurl is easy to integrate in CI/CD, with text, JUnit, TAP and HTML reports
