Trigger a GET Request via the JDK 11 HttpClient API

The JDK 11 HttpClient API is very flexible and intuitive. Here it is a sample of triggering a GET request and printing the response:

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()    .uri(URI.create("https://reqres.in/api/users/4"))    .build();HttpResponse response= client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());System.out.println("Status code: " + response.statusCode());System.out.println("
 Body: " + response.body());
