| <h2><a name="6ApacheWinkClient-ApacheWinkClientOverview"></a>Apache Wink Client Overview</h2> | |
| <p>The Apache Wink Client is an easy-to-use client, providing a high level Java API for writing clients that consume HTTP-based RESTful Web Services. The Apache Wink Client utilizes JAX-RS concepts, encapsulates Rest standards and protocols and maps Rest principles concepts to Java classes, which facilitates the development of clients for any HTTP-based Rest Web Services.</p> | |
| <p>The Apache Wink Client also provides a Handlers mechanism that enables the manipulation of HTTP request/response messages.</p> | |
| <h2><a name="6ApacheWinkClient-MainFeatures"></a>Main Features</h2> | |
| <p>The Apache Wink Clients main features are as follows:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Utilizes JAX-RS Providers for resource serialization and deserialization</li> | |
| <li>Provides Java object models for Atom, Json, RSS, APP, CSV, Multipart and OpenSearch along with providers to serialize and deserialize these models</li> | |
| <li>Uses the JDK HttpUrlConnection as the underlying Http transport</li> | |
| <li>Allows for the easy replacement of the underlying Http transport</li> | |
| <li>Provides a Handlers mechanism for manipulation of HTTP request and response messages</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h3><a name="6ApacheWinkClient-Supports"></a>Supports</h3> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Http proxy</li> | |
| <li>SSL</li> | |
| </ul> | |

| <p>The RestClient class is the Apache Wink Client entry point and is responsible for holding different configuration options and the provider registry.</p> | |
| <p>The RestClient is used to create instances of the Resource class. The Resource class represents a web resource associated with a specific URI and is used to perform uniform interface operations on the resource it represents. Every method invocation goes through a user defined handlers chain that enables for manipulation of the request and response.</p> | |
