io.vertx.reactivex.ext.web.client

## Class WebClient

- java.lang.Object
- - io.vertx.reactivex.ext.web.client.WebClient

-     public class WebClient
      extends Object

  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 , 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.

  NOTE: This class has been automatically generated from the `original` non RX-ified interface using Vert.x codegen.
