With Bruno VS Code extension, you can develop and test your APIs in Bruno right from Visual Studio Code. You can use the VS Code extension to open bruno files, send API requests, manage collections and environments, and much more. Streamline your development workflow by testing your APIs in the same application you use to develop them.
Bruno has a few standout features that make it unique:
- Git-friendly: Bruno stores collections directly in your filesystem as plain text files, making them easy to version control with Git
- Offline-first: No cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in. Your data stays on your device
