The best thing since the wheel

Seriously, screw sliced bread. Paw is #$%&ing amazing. If you’re wading through the ocean of HTTP clients trying to find one that does everything you want, just stop now. You’ve found it.

If you think the price is steep for a one-trick-pony, you aren’t tracking the number of hours you have spent writing shell scripts full of cURL calls and then stabbing yourself in the eyes to try and forget the pain of parsing through the responses to get the values you need. It is a shining example of getting what you pay for. Worth every penny.

Pros:
- Decent interface: It’s clean, readable, and reasonably consistent with OS X UI conventions.
- Well maintained: The developer is actively updating and adding new features, fixing or revamping old ones.
- Does everything: It takes the capabilities of just about every other REST client I’ve tried and combines them into a single shiny package.
- Extensible: With the latest update you can now write custom extensions to augment a couple of specific areas of the application.

Cons:
- Price: It’s not terribly high, but I admit I had to pause to think through whether it was justified. I concluded with a resounding YES, but I did have to think about it first.

So just get it. Seriously, do it. Now.
