resources are available through different protocols. The most common is HTTP. But it supports en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL a lot more protocols.
one common application is testing HTTP-APIs via command line or executing commands on couchDB or elastic search.
so it's a handy tool that helps you in prototyping and exploring apis / protocol because you can just run cli commands against the endpoints. and analyse the responses without to much overhead like implementing it codewise.
