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.
