Package org.jboss.resteasy.client

JAX-RS specification 1.1 ({@link https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=311}) had no client framework, so Resteasy release 2.x provided one. It has two ways to access a server resource:
  1. ClientRequest
  2. a proxy that implements an interface implemented by the target resource
JAX-RS specification 2.0 ({@link https://www.jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr339/index.html}) introduced an official client framework, so the older Resteasy client framework is now deprecated. However, the new JAX-RS framework does not include a proxy feature, so Resteasy extends the official client framework with a new proxy feature. A proxy can be created using ResteasyWebTarget, which extends the api class javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget
