Fluent HTTP Client

For example:

import com.jcabi.http.Request;
import com.jcabi.http.request.ApacheRequest;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String html = new ApacheRequest("https://www.google.com")
      .uri().path("/users").queryParam("id", 333).back()
      .method(Request.GET)
      .header(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT, MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
      .fetch()
      .as(RestResponse.class)
      .assertStatus(HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK)
      .body();
  }
}

This blog post explains the benefits of this client comparing to Apache, Jersey, and others.
