Introduction

ThunderClient.CollectionToCurl is a console application developed in C# .NET 7. It allows you to efficiently convert exported collections from the Thunder Client VSCode extension into individual CURL-formatted text files. These CURL files can be easily used in any API client tool or serve as a backup of your organized HTTP calls.

Thunder Client is a popular VSCode extension used for making API calls, performing API tests, and facilitating API development, much like POSTMAN. With this tool, you can seamlessly transition your Thunder Client collections into standalone CURL files, streamlining your API development workflow and ensuring your HTTP requests are easily portable and maintainable.
