Asynchronous mode

In asynchronous mode, the thread is not blocked until completion. It doesn't wait for a response, instead a callback is called when the response is returned, as shown in the following code snippet:

    "https://newsapi.org/".httpGet().responseString { request,      response, result ->
        //do something with response
        when (result) {
          is Result.Failure -> {
            error = result.getAs()
          }
          is Result.Success -> {
            data = result.getAs()
          }
        }
    }

In the preceding example, we send a GET request to the URL and received the response as a callback with success or failure flags.
