Answer
sendAsync frees up the calling thread immediately.
The sendAsync method in HttpClient allows the calling thread to be freed immediately, enabling it to perform other tasks while waiting for the HTTP response. This is particularly useful in applications that need to handle multiple requests simultaneously, like an e-commerce app fetching data from various warehouse APIs. For instance, you can initiate a request to check stock levels and continue processing other tasks without waiting for the response.
