Postman is an HTTP client that serves as a development app to prototype and
test APIs. The Postman app is available for Microsoft Windows™, Mac OS X or

by Postdot Technologies, Inc. In its basic configuration, the tool is free of charge.
Postman can be used to send the requests to a White Rabbit Time Server unit,
and it will return the JSON response from the device. This allows the user to
quickly test API calls without having to develop test software, and the format of
the data returned can be easily analyzed for inclusion into scripts or applications
that can consume the data.
