This makes me think of an alternative that no one seems to be mentioning: http/rest files. They're git-friendly and there are community plugins to operate them from every major IDE.
Oh yes. This one is Jetbrains only but there is also a VScode alternative for this. There is a plugin called httpyac and I believe it also supports the same kind of configuration (???) and variable syntax. It's great not switching to other apps for making an http request.
I believed the standard was created by jetbrains.
