• Query Synchronization - Stores queries and collections in a cloud service to enable centralized management and team access.
• Workspace Persistence - Synchronizes query collections and history between local storage and a remote database for cross-device access.
• API Request Scripting - Provides custom scripting to process response headers and update environment variables after an API request.
• Client-side Environment Variables - Replaces placeholders in queries and headers with selected configuration values before dispatching requests.
• Plugin Panel Managers - Displays plugin-specific content within dedicated, isolated UI panels within the editor interface.
• Request Scripting Environments - Runs isolated JavaScript logic immediately before and after requests to dynamically modify parameters and process responses.
• Sandboxed Plugin Execution - Executes plugin code within isolated iframes to ensure security and prevent interference with the host application.
• Project Workspace Management - Enables managing multiple independent windows with unique names and endpoints for different projects.
• Network Traffic Analyzers - Includes a browser extension to inspect real-time network traffic and analyze requests made by web applications.
• Real-time Data Subscriptions - Provides real-time data subscription capabilities using multiple transport protocols like WebSockets and SSE.
• Multi-Transport Real-time Layers - Manages real-time data streams by switching between WebSockets, SSE, and MQTT protocols based on server capability.
• Authentication Method Configurations - Configures API authorization methods including tokens and basic auth via static values or environment variables.
• Private Hosting - Supports hosting the full IDE on private servers to maintain complete control over data and privacy.
• Iframe Sandboxing - Executes third-party plugins within isolated iframes to protect the main application state and security.
• Third-Party Plugins - Loads external extensions from sources like npm or GitHub to add new functionality to the client.
