If you want the easiest option, it depends a bit on how you like to work:
-
Postman — usually the easiest overall for most people.
You can quickly send requests, inspect responses, and add simple tests/validations with JavaScript. -
curl + jq — easiest if you prefer the command line and just need to check fields fast.
-
Playwright / Jest + schema validators (like Zod or Ajv) — better if you want automated API response validation in tests.
If you mean “easiest to start with”, I’d recommend Postman.
If you want, I can also suggest the easiest tool based on your setup:
- no-code/manual testing
- automated tests
- CLI/terminal
- schema validation / JSON response checks
