Lightweight browser-based API client you can self-host in a container.
Hoppscotch runs entirely in the browser, needs no installation, and supports REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, SSE and MQTT. It is open source and can be self-hosted with a single container, which makes it easy to provide an internal API client that never sends requests through a third party.
