Java JSON Client Library

Created March 9, 2018

The Java client-side library is used to provide the set of Java objects that can be serialized to/from JSON using Jackson. This is useful for accessing the JSON REST endpoints that are published by this application.

Resources Example (Raw JAXB)
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(baseURL + "/self/global_preferences");
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
java.net.URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.connect();

mapper.writeValue(connection.getOutputStream(), globalPreferences);
GlobalPreferences result = (GlobalPreferences) mapper.readValue( connection.getInputStream(), GlobalPreferences.class );
//handle the result as needed...
Resources Example (Jersey client)
javax.ws.rs.client.Client client = javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder.newClient();

GlobalPreferences result = client.target(baseUrl + "/self/global_preferences")
  .put(javax.ws.rs.client.Entity.entity(globalPreferences, "application/json"), GlobalPreferences.class);

//handle the result as needed...

JavaScript Client Library

Created March 9, 2018

The JavaScript client-side library defines classes that can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This is useful for accessing the resources that are published by this application, but only those that produce a JSON representation of their resources (content type "application/json").

The library uses ES6 class syntax which has limited support. See MDN and the ES6 Compatibility Table for more details.

The library contains a UMD loader which supports AMD, CommonJS and browser globals. The browser global variable name for this library is "javascriptClient".

JavaScript Example
//read the resource in JSON:
var json = JSON.parse(jsonString);

//create an object
var object = new Object(json);

//retreive the json again
var newJson = object.toJSON();

//serialize the json
var newJsonString = JSON.stringify(newJson);
