Class RestTemplate

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, RestOperations

public class RestTemplate extends InterceptingHttpAccessor implements RestOperations
Synchronous client to perform HTTP requests, exposing a simple, template method API over underlying HTTP client libraries such as the JDK HttpURLConnection, Apache HttpComponents, and others.

The RestTemplate offers templates for common scenarios by HTTP method, in addition to the generalized exchange and execute methods that support of less frequent cases.
