+## HTTP Cclients
+
+This folder contain class or function specifically designed to facilitate HTTP client
+interactions with a the core systems.
+
+These API defines:
+
+1. **API Communication**: Handle communication with the component API,
+ abstracting away the details of HTTP requests and responses.
+ This includes making GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests to the servers.
+2. **Data Formatting**: Responsible for formatting requests to the API in a
+ way that's expected by the servers (JSON) and parsing the responses back
+ into formats usable by the client.
+3. **Authentication and Security**: Handling authentication with the server API,
+ which could involve sending API keys, client credentials, or managing tokens.
+ It might also implement security features to ensure data integrity and confidentiality during transit.
+4. **Error Handling**: Providing robust error handling and retry mechanisms
+ for failed HTTP requests, including logging and potentially user notifications for critical failures.
+5. **Data Validation**: Before sending requests, it could validate the data to ensure it meets the API's expected format, types, and value ranges, reducing the likelihood of errors and improving system reliability.
