Hi Folks,

With rest template eventually set for deprecation and Spring suggesting to use Webclient instead of rest template.

How will it affect Open Feign, will it also get deprecated?

Kindly provide an answer to this query.

Thanks in advance.

Making Spring Cloud OpenFeign support WebClient would require rearchitecting the core Feign, which is an independently maintained project (also see https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-openfeign/issues/4). We are not planning on doing it. Starting with Spring 6 and Spring Cloud 2022, we recommend WebClient-backed Spring Interface Clients as a declarative clients solution of choice.
