As mentioned in previous answer, you can use exchangeStrategies method,

example:

            Flux response = WebClient.builder()
                .baseUrl(url)
                .exchangeStrategies(ExchangeStrategies.builder().codecs(this::acceptedCodecs).build())
                .build()
                .get()
                .uri(builder.toUriString(), 1L)
                .retrieve()
                .bodyToFlux( // .. business logic


private void acceptedCodecs(ClientCodecConfigurer clientCodecConfigurer) {
    clientCodecConfigurer.customCodecs().encoder(new Jackson2JsonEncoder(new ObjectMapper(), TEXT_HTML));
    clientCodecConfigurer.customCodecs().decoder(new Jackson2JsonDecoder(new ObjectMapper(), TEXT_HTML));
}
