title: Can I use a standalone WebClient without Webflux
body: <p>I'm developing a reactive service and preparing to use the <a href="https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/master/spring-webflux/src/main/java/org/springframework/web/reactive/function/client/WebClient.java" rel="noreferrer">WebClient</a> to exchange with HTTP APIs,but the service is not in a reactive web stack so how can I use it(WebClient) without depending on Webflux or is there any alternative reactive HTTP client?
  Thanks in advance.</p>
