JUST ANOTHER JAVA TOOLS LIBRARY

github: Tools

I will try to show what you can do with these tools

Let's start with HttpClient

Basic idea is:

create request

set parameters and headers

execute request by methods get/post/execute

get response object

read response as string/bytes, get response code, headers

Simple Get request:

new Request("url").get().asString()

Let's add some parameters

new Request("url") .param("key","value") .param("foo","bar") .get() .asBytes()

Or maybe you want to upload file:

new Request("url") .addFile("fieldName", "path to file on disk") .addByteArray("array", data, "fileName") // by adding file or byte[] you will create a multipart request .post() .getResponseCode()

If you want to make simple Post request with data:

new Request("url") .data(bytes, ContentType.BINARY) .post() .asString()

To save session between requests you can use HttpSession, also you can set default request parameters:

HttpSession session = new HttpSession() .header("Accept", ContentType.JSON.value); session.createRequest("url") .json("{}") // set json-string as request body and content type to application/json .execute() .asString();

HttpClient class has its own HttpSession, so it saves cookies for all requests made through it.
