hal-explorer

May 16, 2026 · View on GitHub

An interactive terminal browser for HAL+JSON REST APIs, built on the zeichenwerk TUI framework. Send HTTP requests, follow _links, and inspect headers, properties, and embedded resources side-by-side.

Install

go install github.com/tekugo/hal-explorer@latest

Run

hal-explorer

Enter a URL, pick a method (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE), optionally edit the body, and execute. The response pane parses HAL+JSON (_links, _embedded) and lets you navigate to linked resources directly.

Status

Early — extracted from cmd/hal-explorer in the zeichenwerk monorepo as a standalone tool. API and shape may change without notice.

License

MIT — same as the upstream zeichenwerk library.
