Consuming services: client objects

Ballerina has a language construct called client objects. They are a special kind of objects that contain remote methods in addition to regular methods. remote methods are used to interact with a remote service. Applications typically do not need to write client classes, which are either provided by library modules or generated from some flavor of IDL.

 
import ballerina/http;
import ballerina/io;

public function main() returns error? {

    http:Client httpClient = check new ("https://api.github.com");

A client object is created by applying new to a client class.

    http:Response resp =
                    check httpClient->get("/orgs/ballerina-platform/repos");

The remote method calls use the -> syntax. This enables the sequence diagram view.

    io:println(resp.statusCode);
}
