REST Client

The REST Client component allows users to interact with RESTful web services by making HTTP requests and receiving responses. Users can specify the HTTP method, URL, headers, and body of the request, and handle the response based on its content type. The REST Client component is commonly used in data integration workflows to retrieve or post data to external systems via RESTful APIs.
