- StarryDivineSky - mountain-loop/yaak - loop 开发，支持 REST、GraphQL、WebSockets、Server Sent Events（SSE）和 gRPC 等主流 API 类型，覆盖了现代 Web 开发中常见的通信需求。通过图形化操作面板，用户无需编写代码即可直接构造请求参数、发送请求并实时查看响应结果，显著提升了调试效率。工具的工作原理基于模块化设计，每个 API 请求可独立配置请求方法（GET/POST/PUT/DELETE）、URL 路径、请求头、请求体及参数，支持自动解析 JSON/XML 等数据格式。对于 WebSocket，yaak 提供了连接管理、消息发送和实时消息监听功能；针对 Server Sent Events，用户可订阅事件流并设置回调处理逻辑。此外，gRPC 支持通过 Protobuf 定义接口，自动生成客户端代码并可视化调用过程。项目特别强调用户体验，采用拖拽式界面布局和智能参数提示，降低学习成本。所有请求历史记录可保存为工作流，支持一键重放和参数对比，便于测试不同场景下的接口表现。开发者还可通过插件扩展功能，集成认证机制（如 OAuth2）、环境变量管理及响应数据验证等高级特性。yaak 的跨平台特性使其可在 Windows、macOS 和 Linux 系统上运行，配合轻量级架构设计，确保低资源占用和快速启动。该项目持续更新维护，社区活跃度高，是 API 开发者提升工作效率的实用工具。 (后端开发框架及项目 / 后端项目_其他)

README
💫 Yaak ➟ Desktop API Client 💫
A fast, privacy-first API client for REST, GraphQL, SSE, WebSocket, and gRPC – built with Tauri, Rust, and React.
Development is funded by community-purchased licenses. You can also become a sponsor to have your logo appear below. 💖
## Features
Yaak is an offline-first API client designed to stay out of your way while giving you everything you need when you need it.
Built with [Tauri](https://tauri.app), Rust, and React, it’s fast, lightweight, and private. No telemetry, no VC funding, and no cloud lock-in.
### 🌐 Work with any API
- Import collections from Postman, Insomnia, OpenAPI, Swagger, or Curl.
- Send requests via REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, or Server-Sent Events.
- Filter and inspect responses with JSONPath or XPath.
### 🔐 Stay secure
- Use OAuth 2.0, JWT, Basic Auth, or custom plugins for authentication.
- Secure sensitive values with encrypted secrets.
- Store secrets in your OS keychain.
### ☁️ Organize & collaborate
- Group requests into workspaces and nested folders.
- Use environment variables to switch between dev, staging, and prod.
- Mirror workspaces to your filesystem for versioning in Git or syncing with Dropbox.
### 🧩 Extend & customize
- Insert dynamic values like UUIDs or timestamps with template tags.
- Pick from built-in themes or build your own.
- Create plugins to extend authentication, template tags, or the UI.
