Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/188

No pre or post scripts should be necessary to handle json parsing a response and using a value from that response in a subsequent call.

When a labeled request is executed, the response of that request should be parsed as json by default and stored in the local cache (along with the request object)

The cache should be viewable in the UI and be editable.

Example cache:

foo: {
   request: {....}
   response: {
      body: { bar:5 }
      headers: {cookie:123}
   }
}

A subsequent request named bar, may reference {{ foo.response.headers.cookie }}

Export Collection feature address this issue, hence closing.

An example of a typical Collection Export:

    "name": "My Collection",
    "folders": [
