What is RestClient (Spring Boot 3.2)? How does it differ from RestTemplate and WebClient?
RestClient is a synchronous HTTP client with WebClient's fluent builder API — the blocking counterpart to WebClient. RestTemplate is older, less fluent, and effectively frozen for new code. WebClient is reactive/non-blocking. RestClient is Spring's recommended choice for new synchronous REST calls from Spring Boot 3.2 onward.
