Hi Shubham,

"Advanced REST Client" is an extension of the step "REST Client" with more features as follows:

 Authenticated Proxy Support  
 Option to ignore SSL certificate validation  
 Request Timeout  
 Form-data request body along with file upload by providing file path  
 Ability to read HTTP Response headers  
 Ability to test REST API
