Test RESTful API with Postman REST Client

Purpose

The Postman REST client aids in developing client software that needs to send and capture requests from RESTful web service APIs.

It is also a useful tool for the developer of the API because he can setup test examples, store them in text files and give them to the client developer as an example to develop his client and as an aid in debugging his client software.
