/**
 * <strong>Spring's central class for synchronous client-side HTTP access.</strong>
 * It simplifies communication with HTTP servers, and enforces RESTful principles.
 * It handles HTTP connections, leaving application code to provide URLs
 * (with possible template variables) and extract results.
 *
 * <p>The main entry points of this template are the methods named after the six main HTTP methods:
 * <table>
 * <tr><th>HTTP method</th><th>RestTemplate methods</th></tr>
 * <tr><td>DELETE</td><td>{@link #delete}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>GET</td><td>{@link #getForObject}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td></td><td>{@link #getForEntity}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>HEAD</td><td>{@link #headForHeaders}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>OPTIONS</td><td>{@link #optionsForAllow}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>POST</td><td>{@link #postForLocation}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td></td><td>{@link #postForObject}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>PUT</td><td>{@link #put}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>any</td><td>{@link #exchange}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td></td><td>{@link #execute}</td></tr> </table>
 *
 * <p>In addition the {@code exchange} and {@code execute} methods are generalized versions of
 * the above methods and can be used to support additional, less frequent combinations (e.g.
 * HTTP PATCH, HTTP PUT with response body, etc.). Note however that the underlying HTTP
 * library used must also support the desired combination.
 *
 * <p>For each HTTP method there are three variants: two accept a URI template string
 * and URI variables (array or map) while a third accepts a {@link URI}.
 * Note that for URI templates it is assumed encoding is necessary, e.g.
 * {@code restTemplate.getForObject("http://example.com/hotel list")} becomes
 * {@code "http://example.com/hotel%20list"}. This also means if the URI template
 * or URI variables are already encoded, double encoding will occur, e.g.
 * {@code http://example.com/hotel%20list} becomes
 * {@code http://example.com/hotel%2520list}). To avoid that use a {@code URI} method
 * variant to provide (or re-use) a previously encoded URI. To prepare such an URI
 * with full control over encoding, consider using
 * {@link org.springframework.web.util.UriComponentsBuilder}.
 *
 * <p>Internally the template uses {@link HttpMessageConverter} instances to
 * convert HTTP messages to and from POJOs. Converters for the main mime types
 * are registered by default but you can also register additional converters
 * via {@link #setMessageConverters}.
 *
 * <p>This template uses a
 * {@link org.springframework.http.client.SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory} and a
 * {@link DefaultResponseErrorHandler} as default strategies for creating HTTP
 * connections or handling HTTP errors, respectively. These defaults can be overridden
 * through {@link #setRequestFactory} and {@link #setErrorHandler} respectively.
