HAR Adopters
This page summarizes existing tools, projects and applications (made by third parties) that support HTTP Archive format (HAR). This format is based on JSON and is typically used by tools that consume/produce data collected by monitoring HTTP communication. Note that you can display an existing HAR file online using HAR Viewer.
Are you an author of a new tool that adopts HAR and want me to update this page? Just email your submissions to the HAR discussion group or me.
