It makes writing web service clients easier. To use Feign create an interface and annotate it. It has pluggable annotation support including Feign annotations and JAX-RS annotations. Feign also supports pluggable encoders and decoders. Spring Cloud adds support for Spring MVC annotations and for using the same <code class="literal">HttpMessageConverters</code> used by default in Spring Web.

for the "stores" service. If your application is a Eureka client then
it will resolve the service in the Eureka service registry. If you
