title: Groovy built-in REST/HTTP client?
body: <p>I heard that Groovy has a built-in REST/HTTP client. The only library I can find is <a href="https://github.com/jgritman/httpbuilder" rel="noreferrer">HttpBuilder</a>, <strong>is this it?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Basically I'm looking for a way to do HTTP GETs from inside Groovy code without having to import any libraries (if at all possible). But since this module doesn't appear to be a part of core Groovy I'm not sure if I have the right lib here.</p>
