## NAME

hurlfmt - format Hurl files


## SYNOPSIS

**hurlfmt** [options] [FILE]


## DESCRIPTION

**hurlfmt** formats Hurl files and converts them to other formats.

With no FILE, read standard input.


By default, hurlfmt outputs a formatted and colorized version of the input hurl file.

```
$ hurl hello.hurl
GET http://localhost:8000/hello

HTTP/1.0 200
```



hurlfmt can be used to convert to other format.


```
$ hurl hello.hurl --output json | jq
{
  "entries": [
    {
      "request": {
        "method": "GET",
        "url": "http://localhost:8000/hello"
      },
      "response": {
        "version": "HTTP/1.0",
        "status": 200
      }
    }
  ]
}
