What is Postman?
Postman is one of the most popular API testing tools. It is very simple to use and intuitive API testing tool or application. We don’t need any knowledge of programming language.

It is an open source tool. You can easily download it from Google.
After downloading the Postman, you can easily install by double click on it.
After installed, it will ask for signup. After login it will show like below.
