Is Resttemplate Deprecated

RestTemplate provides a synchronous way of consuming Rest services, which means it will block the thread until it receives a response. RestTemplate is deprecated since Spring 5 which means it’s not really that future proof. First, we create a Spring Boot project with the spring-boot-starter-web dependency.

Is RestTemplate getting deprecated?

RestTemplate is not really deprecated. But it will not be evolved in the future.

What is the difference between WebClient and RestTemplate?

RestTemplate uses Java Servlet API and is therefore synchronous and blocking. Contrarily, WebClient is asynchronous and will not block the executing thread while waiting for the response to come back. Only when the response is ready will the notification be produced. RestTemplate will still be used.
