## Interface WebClient

- All Known Subinterfaces:
    OAuth2WebClient, WebClientSession

      public interface WebClient

  An asynchronous HTTP / HTTP/2 client called `WebClient`.

  The web client makes easy to do HTTP request/response interactions with a web server, and provides advanced features like:

  - Json body encoding / decoding
  - request/response pumping
  - error handling

  The web client does not deprecate the `HttpClient`, it is actually based on it and therefore inherits its configuration and great features like pooling. The `HttpClient` should be used when fine grained control over the HTTP requests/response is necessary.
