RESTy
A minimalist HTTP client made on top of Apache HttpComponets and Jackson JSON/XML Processor.
It's made to be simple and elegant by avoiding boilerplate code and a lot of configurations.
Get Started
Given the /meta github service wich a request to https://api.github.com/meta brings a JSON like this:
{
"verifiable_password_authentication": true,
"github_services_sha": "f39e3c6fa71f1c5c0e8497c28a5e7e1a4501035f",
"hooks": [
"192.30.252.0/22"
],
"git": [
"192.30.252.0/22"
],
"importer": [
"54.221.4.64",
"54.205.129.240",
"54.227.175.200"
]
}Add the follow dependency to your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.parisoft</groupId>
<artifactId>resty</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>Create a Meta class to represent the JSON:
package get.started;
import java.util.List;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown=true)
public class Meta {
@JsonProperty("verifiable_password_authentication")
private boolean verifiable;
private List<String> hooks;
public boolean isVerifiable() {
return verifiable;
}
public void setVerifiable(boolean verifiable) {
this.verifiable = verifiable;
}
public List<String> getHooks() {
return hooks;
}
public void setHooks(List<String> hooks) {
this.hooks = hooks;
}
}This code consumes the /meta service and writes the result into a Meta object:
package get.started;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.parisoft.resty.RESTy;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Meta meta = RESTy.request("https://api.github.com")
.path("meta")
.client()
.get(Meta.class);
System.out.println("Verifiable = " + meta.isVerifiable());
System.out.println("Hooks = " + meta.getHooks());
}
}Executing the code above will print the follow result:
Verifiable = true
Hooks = [192.30.252.0/22]
