title: Consuming a REST API in DropWizard
body: <p>I'm building an API in java using DropWizard. However, for certain resources I also need to consume other RESTful API's. These other API's do not require any authentication. </p>
  
  <p>Can DropWizard be used to consume API's? Or what are some other ways to simply consume a RESTful API in a java application? Since I'm using DropWizard I already have Jackson. </p>
  
  <p>So if the REST API is something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ {"id": "0",
     "name" : "Joe"
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to have an object like this <code>List&lt;Foo&gt;</code></p>
