[[webmvc-resttemplate]]
|
|
== RestTemplate
|
|
|
|
`RestTemplate` is a synchronous client to perform HTTP requests. It is the original
|
|
Spring REST client, exposing a simple, template method API over underlying HTTP client
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
As of 5.0, the non-blocking, reactive `WebClient` offers a modern alternative to the
|
|
`RestTemplate` with efficient support for both sync and async, as well as streaming
|
|
scenarios. The `RestTemplate` will be deprecated in a future version and will not have
|
|
major new features gong forward.
