Why Use the Data Client Base Library

The Data Client Base Library allows you to:

1. use Data APIs from your application on the lowest level of abstraction,
2. use pure Data REST APIs without any logic added,
3. use the same credentials as used for Data Client and CLI,
4. have full control over per-request configuration (e.g. timeouts, retries etc.) and
5. get metrics on each api and function.

The Data Client Base Library provides synchronous, stateless, plain and direct programmatic access to the Data APIs. For more sophisticated functions including Akka multi-threading, asynchronous calls, backpressure, parallelism support, retry and resume and Spark and Flink support, use the Data Client Library.
