/**
 * Client for testing web servers that uses {@link WebClient} internally to
 * perform requests while also providing a fluent API to verify responses.
 * This client can connect to any server over HTTP, or to a WebFlux application
 * via mock request and response objects.
 *
 * <p>Use one of the bindToXxx methods to create an instance. For example:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #bindToController(Object...)}
 * <li>{@link #bindToRouterFunction(RouterFunction)}
 * <li>{@link #bindToApplicationContext(ApplicationContext)}
 * <li>{@link #bindToServer()}
 * <li>...
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p><strong>Warning</strong>: {@code WebTestClient} is not usable yet in
 * Kotlin due to a <a href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-5464">type inference issue</a>
 * which is expected to be fixed as of Kotlin 1.3. You can watch
 * <a href="https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/20606">gh-20606</a>
 * for up-to-date information. Meanwhile, the proposed alternative is to use
 * directly {@link WebClient} with its Reactor and Spring Kotlin extensions to
 * perform integration tests on an embedded WebFlux server.
