Angular HttpClient vs Angular Http

Question

The introduction of the HttpClient API in angular 4.1 along with the other Http API is confusing.

They both serve the same purpose and yet they are put in 2 separate packages.

Is there a possibility that Http gets deprecated in favor of HttpClient (similarly to what happened with Renderer and Renderer2)?

Has there been any announcement from the angular team on this?

P.S: Please note that my question concerns only the deprecation possibility of Http, and not any technical implementation related to HttpClient.

The two questions are entirely different. I'm asking about the deprecation possibility and not about any technical implementation like in the link that you provided. — Unsinkable Sam

Not that there is possibility but HttpModule will get deprecated in favour of new HttpClient. And yes, you should either start using HttpClient right away if you are starting new project or migrate to it if you have older projects that use HttpModule
