RIP

RIP is a Java REST client with an extremely simple API:

Resource resource = new RestClient().open("http://example.com");

// HTTP GET
String result = resource.get();

// HTTP POST
resource.post("{ \"some\" : \"json\" }");

// HTTP PUT
resource.put("[{ \"more\" : \"json\" }]");

// HTTP DELETE
resource.delete();

// Relative paths
resource.path("item42").delete();

It has been designed to allow for easy mocking. The following example uses Mockito to mock RestClient:

@Test
public void testExample() {
    RestClient client = mock(RestClient.class);
    client.open("http://example.com");
    verify(client).open("http://example.com");
}

REST in peace!
