RestTemplate is a synchronous client used in Spring applications for making HTTP requests.
To make an HTTP GET request using RestTemplate in a Spring Boot application, you need to create a Spring Boot project.
Steps include adding RestTemplate bean in the configuration, creating a DTO for the response (optional), and using RestTemplate in a service or controller.
An example scenario involves calling a public API (e.g., https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1) to fetch user data.
