Quick Start

using HttpFileParser;

// Parse an .http file
var document = HttpFile.ParseFile("api-tests.http");

// Load environment variables
var environment = HttpEnvironment.Load(".");
var context = environment.CreateContext("development");

// Resolve variables and create HTTP request
var resolved = document.ResolveVariables(context);
var httpRequest = resolved.Requests[0].ToHttpRequestMessage();

// Send request
using var client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.SendAsync(httpRequest);
