Package org.odpi.openmetadata.adapters.connectors.restclients

package org.odpi.openmetadata.adapters.connectors.restclients

Package defining the contract shared by all REST client connector implementations: the RESTClientCalls interface and the abstract RESTClientConnector connector base class. Egeria clients code only against this contract, obtaining an implementation from the REST Client Factory, so that the HTTP library actually used to issue REST calls can be changed without any client code changing.
