SCORM Cloud LRS vs xh

SCORM Cloud LRS captures xAPI statements from online activities and learning experiences that take place in person. It has passed the ADL LRS Test Suite and accepts externally generated xAPI statements without charging by statement volume. Activity providers can be configured to forward statements to other LRSs. The SCORM Cloud player supports xAPI, cmi5, SCORM, and AICC content, and SCORM and AICC registration data can be converted into xAPI statements stored in the LRS. An API supports integrating course hosting, delivery, learner tracking, and reporting into other applications. The service runs in the cloud and is available through web and API platforms. Its free, non-time-based Trial allows 3 courses, up to 5GB of storage, and 10 resettable registrations. Paid plans range from Tester at $40 a month to Ultra at $5,000 a month, with registration allowances varying by plan. Rustici offers support by phone, email, and Knowledge Base. The company was founded in 2002 and is based in Franklin, Tennessee.

xh is a free command-line tool for sending HTTP requests, with a focus on improved performance. It uses HTTPie's request-item syntax for setting headers, request bodies, and query strings. It supports JSON and form data, multipart requests, raw data, and request bodies read from standard input or a file. Responses can be pretty-printed, limited to headers or body output, and saved or downloaded to a file. Authentication options include basic, bearer, and digest. The README lists HTTP/2 support, while the current Cargo manifest has an optional HTTP/3 feature. The --curl flag translates a request into a curl command. Security options include TLS version selection, certificate verification settings, and client-side certificates. Prebuilt binaries are provided for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with package-manager installation instructions for those systems and Android. xh is distributed under the MIT License and has a free plan priced at free. It can use HTTPie compatibility mode when invoked as http or https, or when XH_HTTPIE_COMPAT_MODE is set. The README notes that some HTTPie features are not implemented, there is no plugin system, and its documentation is worse than HTTPie's.
