Support .bru files from postman alternative bru

[Chris2011]

Postman is/was nice, it is a whole suite and a lot of stuff also with login and pricing model and you need to be online. Today I've heard about an alternative called bruno: https://www.usebruno.com/. They have their own simple text based language called bru-lang https://docs.usebruno.com/bru-lang/overview. So it would be nice if we can handle also importing/exporting bru files. .HTTP will be the first one who can be switched to. Later on, we can add a switch button to say open http file or open bru file.

So here ist a list what we need:

• Import/export bru files into the UI
• Switch from UI to bru
• convert http file to bru

Step by step but this would be noice :)

Interesting. First time that I've heard about Bruno. I have heard about/used Insomnia, besides Postman, and others (JavaFx-based, not so popular).
Is it worth implementing this feature or is it better to focus on improving compatibility with the most popular ones? On the other hand, the Bru lang seems easy.

BTW, taking a look at Bruno's website and seeing its UI made me wonder if NRC main UI would be better with a sidepanel, like you did with the .http feature.

I will checkout insomnia. Postman also mentions it. So I would try to support the most popular ones. First postman, then maybe insomnia and then bruno. So that we can make this plugin more popular if its possible.

For the UI I thought so too but I would add an option like "put response to the side, next to response". I like both. Postman was/is more common, bruno does it like this and I like it too. I would like to let the use choose this.
