voidframework {
    restclient {

        maxIdleConnections = 10

        echo-api {

            endpoint = "https://postman-echo.com"
            maxIdleConnections = 1
            readTimeout = "15 seconds"
        }
    }
}
@RestClient("echo-api")
private interface EchoApiRestClient {

    @GET("/get")
    String echo(@Query("msg") final String message);

    @POST("/post")
    @Headers("Content-Type: application/json")
    JsonNode postJsonNode(@Body final JsonNode message);
}
@Service
private class SampleService {

    private final EchoApiRestClient echoApiRestClient;

    @Inject
    public SampleService(final EchoApiRestClient echoApiRestClient) {
        
        this.echoApiRestClient = echoApiRestClient;
    }

    public String mySample() {
        
        return this.echoApiRestClient.echo("Hello World");
