 # Feign makes writing java http clients easier

 Feign is a java to http client binder inspired by [Retrofit](https://github.com/square/retrofit), [JAXRS-2.0](https://jax-rs-spec.java.net/nonav/2.0/apidocs/index.html), and [WebSocket](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jsr356-1937161.html).  Feign's first goal was reducing the complexity of binding [Denominator](https://github.com/Netflix/Denominator) uniformly to http apis regardless of [restfulness](http://www.slideshare.net/adrianfcole/99problems).
