public interface RSocketRequester
extends reactor.core.Disposable
RSocket with a fluent API accepting
 and returning higher level Objects for input and for output, along with
 methods to prepare routing and other metadata.| Modifier and Type | Interface and Description | 
|---|---|
| static interface  | RSocketRequester.BuilderBuilder to create a requester by connecting to a server. | 
| static interface  | RSocketRequester.MetadataSpec<S extends RSocketRequester.MetadataSpec<S>>Spec for providing additional composite metadata entries. | 
| static interface  | RSocketRequester.RequestSpecSpec to declare the input for an RSocket request. | 
| static interface  | RSocketRequester.RetrieveSpecSpec to declare the expected output for an RSocket request. | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| static RSocketRequester.Builder | builder()Obtain a builder to create a client  RSocketRequesterby connecting
 to an RSocket server. | 
| MimeType | dataMimeType()Return the data  MimeTypeselected for the underlying RSocket
 at connection time. | 
| default void | dispose()Shortcut method that delegates to the same on the underlying
  rsocketClient()in order to close the connection from the
 underlying transport and notify subscribers. | 
| default boolean | isDisposed()Shortcut method that delegates to the same on the underlying
  rsocketClient(). | 
| RSocketRequester.RequestSpec | metadata(Object metadata,
        MimeType mimeType)Begin to specify a new request with the given metadata value, which can
 be a concrete value or any producer of a single value that can be adapted
 to a  PublisherviaReactiveAdapterRegistry. | 
| MimeType | metadataMimeType()Return the metadata  MimeTypeselected for the underlying RSocket
 at connection time. | 
| RSocketRequester.RequestSpec | route(String route,
     Object... routeVars)Begin to specify a new request with the given route to a remote handler. | 
| RSocket | rsocket()Return the underlying  RSocketif the requester was created with a
 "live" RSocket viawrap(RSocket, MimeType, MimeType, RSocketStrategies)or via one of the (deprecated) connect methods on theRSocketRequesterbuilder, or otherwise returnnull. | 
| RSocketClient | rsocketClient()Return the underlying  RSocketClientused to make requests with. | 
| static RSocketRequester | wrap(RSocket rsocket,
    MimeType dataMimeType,
    MimeType metadataMimeType,
    RSocketStrategies strategies)Wrap an existing  RSocket. |

MimeType selected for the underlying RSocket
 at connection time. On the client side this is configured via
 RSocketRequester.Builder.dataMimeType(MimeType) while on the
 server side it's obtained from the ConnectionSetupPayload.MimeType metadataMimeType()
MimeType selected for the underlying RSocket
 at connection time. On the client side this is configured via
 RSocketRequester.Builder.metadataMimeType(MimeType) while on the
 server side it's obtained from the ConnectionSetupPayload.RSocketRequester.RequestSpec route(String route, Object... routeVars)
The route can be a template with placeholders, e.g.
 "flight.{code}" in which case the supplied route variables are
 formatted via toString() and expanded into the template.
 If a formatted variable contains a "." it is replaced with the escape
 sequence "%2E" to avoid treating it as separator by the responder .
 
If the connection is set to use composite metadata, the route is
 encoded as "message/x.rsocket.routing.v0". Otherwise the route
 is encoded according to the mime type for the connection.

 This is required for connection using composite metadata. Otherwise the
