This section describes options for client-side access to REST endpoints.

|
|
== `RestClient`
|
|
|
|
`RestClient` is a synchronous HTTP client that exposes a modern, fluent API.
|
|
|
|
See xref:integration/rest-clients.adoc#rest-restclient[`RestClient`] for more details.
|
|
|

|
[[webmvc-webclient]]
|
|
== `WebClient`
|
|
|
|
`WebClient` is a reactive client for making HTTP requests with a fluent API.
|
|
|
|
See xref:web/webflux-webclient.adoc[`WebClient`] for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[webmvc-resttemplate]]
|
|
== `RestTemplate`
|
|
|
|
`RestTemplate` is a synchronous client for making HTTP requests. It is the original
|
|
Spring REST client and exposes a simple, template-method API over underlying HTTP client
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
See xref:integration/rest-clients.adoc#rest-resttemplate[`RestTemplate`] for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[webmvc-http-service-client]]
|
|
== HTTP Service Client
|
|
|
|
The Spring Framework lets you define an HTTP service as a Java interface with HTTP
|
|
exchange methods. You can then generate a proxy that implements this interface and
|
|
performs the exchanges. This helps to simplify HTTP remote access and provides additional
|
|
flexibility for choosing an API style such as synchronous or reactive.

See xref:integration/rest-clients.adoc#rest-http-service-client[HTTP Service Client] for details.
