How to use Rest API with Zend Framework 2

Question

Can anyone provide an example for using the third-party Rest API (Ex: someurl) API in Zend Framework 2. In ZF1, it was that simple using Zend_Rest. I do not want to create apt to relax in my application, I just consume third-party ones.

Thanks,

use Zend\Http\Request;
use Zend\Http\Client;
use Zend\Stdlib\Parameters;

$request = new Request();
$request->getHeaders()->addHeaders(array(
    'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
));
$request->setUri($someurl);
$request->setMethod('POST');
$request->setPost(new Parameters(array('someparam' = > $somevalue)));

$client = new Client();
$response = $client->dispatch($request);
$data = json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
