# Pro’s explanation
cURL, which stands for client URL, is a command line tool that developers use to
transfer data to and from a server. At the most fundamental, cURL lets you talk
to a server by specifying the location (in the form of a URL) and the data you
want to send. cURL supports several different protocols, including HTTP and
HTTPS, and runs on almost every platform. This makes cURL ideal for testing
communication from almost any device (as long as it has a command line and
network connectivity) from a local server to most edge devices. The most basic
command in curl is curl http://example.com. The curl command is followed by the
URL, from which we would like to retrieve some kind of data. In this case, it
would return the html source for example.com.
