/**
 * Provides support for client-side communication with HTTP-based
 * RESTful Web services.
 * 

* The client API is high-level API that reuses many aspects of the JAX-RS * API. It is designed to be quick, easy to use and is especially useful * and productive when developing tests for Web services. *

* The client API can be used as follows to make simple GET and POST requests * to a Web resource: *

 *     Client c = Client.create();
 *     WebResource r = c.resource("http://host/base");
 *     String s = r.get(String.class);
 *     s = r.post(String.class, s);
 * 
*

* A key concept of REST is the uniform interface and this is encapsulated in * the {@link com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource} class, which implements * {@link com.sun.jersey.api.client.UniformInterface}. * A request is built up and when the corresponding HTTP method on the * {@link com.sun.jersey.api.client.UniformInterface} is invoked the request * is sent to the Web resource and the returned response is processed. This enables * efficient production of requests as follows: *

 *     WebResource r = ...
 *     String s = r.accept("application/xml").get(String.class);
 *     s = r.accept("application/xml").type("application/xml").post(String.class, s);
 * 
* In the above example a GET request occurs stating that the * "application/xml" is acceptable. After that a POST request occurs stating * the same acceptable media type and that the content type of the request entity is * "application/xml". *

* The Java types that may be used for request and response entities are not * restricted to String. The client API reuses the same infrastrucure * as JAX-RS server-side. Thus the same types that can be used on the server-side * can also be used on the client-side, such as JAXB-based types. Further more * the supported Java types can be extended by implementing * {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyReader} and * {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyWriter}. For registration of such support * for new Java types see * {@link com.sun.jersey.api.client.config.ClientConfig}. */ package com.sun.jersey.api.client;
