About Boomerang

Fast, lightweight API testing in your browser

Our Story

A decade ago, working with both SOAP and REST APIs meant firing up a heavy desktop client, waiting for it to load, and listening to the laptop fans spin up, just to test a simple endpoint. There had to be a better way.

Boomerang was born right where developers live: the browser. No massive installs. No waiting. Just instant API testing that gets out of your way.

That simple idea became Boomerang, a fast, lightweight tool built for real‑world API work across REST and SOAP.

Mission

Our mission is simple: build a lightweight API client for quick testing across both SOAP and REST, without installing any additional desktop clients.

What We Stand For

  • Lightning fast. Launches instantly in your browser (about ~500KB zipped).
  • Simple by design. Clean interface that stays out of your way.
  • REST & SOAP. Import from OpenAPI/Swagger or WSDL and test with ease.
  • Privacy first. Your data stays on your machine. No signups, no cloud.
  • Powerful scripting. Pre-request scripts and assertions when you need them.

Used by Thousands

Today, thousands of developers use Boomerang daily. Over the past decade, the focus has stayed the same: help you test APIs quickly, without friction.
