New features and improvements

Folder View

Organize and view files within folders, and easily switch to files within a workspace with one click.

Import all sub-folders from Postman in one step.

Postman import is more stable, and now you can import all nested folders from a large collection in one shot.

Header drop-down for convenience

Drop-downs for commonly used headers make creating HTTP requests even easier.

Copy as cURL

Now you have the option to copy a request as a valid cURL command, great for sharing with other team members or for use in other tools.

Other improvements

• Response size also shown alongside response time
• Fixed Install issues on Windows
• Fixed PKIX / SSL error when accessing some services on Mac M2+ machines
• Fixed bug when editing request body to be empty
• Multi-line functions now exported correctly when converting to Karate feature files
• You are prompted to save unsaved work when exiting or switching flows

Notes for Karate users

Xplorer is a good way to make use of existing Postman collections or OpenAPI / Swagger data that you have. In future we will be adding a business-friendly way to interact with your existing investment in Karate test cases. Right now assertions are imported from Postman but not executed in Xplorer. Execution of assertions and reporting of passing or failure will be done in an upcoming release.

New:

• Linux (Debian) installer available (please let us know if you need support for another platform)

Fixed:

• Header values can now be copied to the clipboard
• XML responses will be pretty printed
• Chained tests work even if you skip some rows
• Much easier to scroll when rows are expanded, tip: hover over the Request or Response tab to do so
• unbalanced backticks and forward-slashes do not hang the edit area any more
• Improved JavaScript engine to handle some edge cases

A reminded of the key features released in 1.2.0: OpenAPI and Swagger support, LLM MCP integration
