NativeRest 3.3.0 – Structural Export and Conditional Logic 🧠

March 1, 2026

🌸 We are excited to welcome spring with the release of NativeRest 3.3.0! This update is all about keeping you organized and boosting your productivity. We’ve focused heavily on ensuring your API workspace remains perfectly structured, whether you are working within NativeRest or collaborating with teams across different environments.

We know that for complex projects, the structure of your requests is just as important as the requests themselves. NativeRest 3.3.0 makes sure your hard work stays organized!

📂 Seamless Data Portability

The highlight of this release is our major upgrade to export capabilities. 🚀 When exporting your collections to the Postman format, NativeRest now fully preserves your nested folder structure. No more flat lists – your logical organization remains perfectly intact!

We have also added support for folder colors 🎨 during both import and export, as well as the preservation of request descriptions and test fields. Your workspace will look and function exactly the way you designed it, regardless of where you move your data.

🧠 Conditional Logic and Scripting Power

Beyond organization, version 3.3.0 significantly boosts your testing automation with the new if function. You can now introduce smart, conditional logic into your workflows using various comparison operators. 💡

We have also expanded the standard library with powerful new tools for developers:

• 💻 System Integration: Read values directly from the Windows Registry (os.userRegistry, os.machineRegistry) and parse local configuration files (file.readIni, file.readXml).
• 🔢 Data Processing: New functions for handling binary data (hex.encode, hex.decode) and generating unique identifiers (random.ulid).
• 💪 Stress Testing: The random.string function now supports up to 65,535 characters for heavy-duty testing.

⚡ Performance and XML Improvements

NativeRest continues to be the fastest native API client on the market. In this update, we resolved performance bottlenecks when rendering strictly large XML responses and added syntax highlighting for XML, making it much easier to work with SOAP and legacy services. We also eliminated UI freezes when interacting with massive JSON structures.

👀 User Experience & Security ✨

• Visuals: A new waiting animation for pending requests and color-coded indicators on the Tests tab provide instant visual feedback.
• Safety: A new Request Size Check prevents accidental data loss, and digital signature verification for the installer ensures you are always running genuine software.
