How has HTTP Client (java

The HTTP Client in Java provides an easy way to send HTTP requests and handle responses. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous processing, making it suitable for various applications. The API is designed to work seamlessly with both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols.

This modern client is part of the Java standard library, starting from Java 11, and offers a more flexible and efficient means of interacting with web services compared to the older `HttpURLConnection` class.
