1316Compared to `curl`, `ant` builds request bodies from typed flags or piped YAML instead of hand-written JSON, and inlines file contents into string fields with an `@path` reference. It extracts response fields with a built-in `--transform` query, so you don't need a separate tool such as `jq`, and it paginates list endpoints automatically.
