Imagine you want to send a message to a friend across the street. You could write a note, put it in an envelope, and give it to a special delivery person. This person would then take the envelope and deliver it to your friend.

In the world of computers and software, a POSTMAN is like that special delivery person. 📬

  • You are a program or a developer.

  • The message is data you want to send.

  • Your friend is another computer program or service on the internet.

  • POSTMAN is a tool that helps you put your data in the "envelope" and send it to the right place.

It helps you test if your message gets delivered correctly and if your friend's program sends back a good reply. It's a way for you to check if different parts of a software system are "talking" to each other properly.

Technically - Postman is an API client that simplifies the development, testing, and documentation of APIs. It's a tool used by developers to send HTTP requests to a server and view the response.
