Field notes
Purr organizes API work around a sequence of compose, inspect, and adjust states instead of keeping every panel visible at once. The site describes importing cURL and OpenAPI 3, extracting response values with JSONPath, and querying JSON with jq while preserving the original response. Its Jaeger integration is aimed at connecting an API response to the spans behind it.
