baresip is more like a proper SIP phone (which is great and I use it for
such purpose), but I don't think it has the option to "forge" any kind
of SIP request. The sipexer is a result of not having enough time to
(fully understand and then) code C/C++ for sipsak to add websocket
support (plus a few other like IPv6, more TLS flexibility).

I wrote a couple of years ago wsctl to be able to do testing over
websocket from cli, I don't think baresip had support for websocket at
that time, anyhow my need was mainly to be able to reproduce by sending
SIP traffic from a previous capture) and a few months ago I decided to
start a more sip-oriented tool written in golang, considering is faster
development due to embedded tls support and easier websocket integration
(also hoping that contributions will be easier in golang than c/c++
nowadays from the new generation).

sipexer has to be seen as a sip cli tool, not as a sip softphone, there
is no media/audio support.

Cheers,
Daniel
