This example parse JSON in RESTful Web Services with Java Using Jersey.
There are many way for parse JSON in restful web services. In this example I have used jackson dependency(maven project) if you are not use maven project then you can use jackson jar for JSON parsing.
Step 1: create handle class and define path , method and response
UserHander.java
package com.javaproficiency.jerseydemo.demo;
import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response.Status;
import com.javaproficiency.jerseydemo.model.User;
@Path("/user")
public class UserHander {
@POST
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response addUser(User user) {
System.out.println("user name"+user.getName());
System.out.println("user city="+user.getCity());
return Response.status(Status.OK).entity(user).build();
}
}
Step 2:
User.java
package com.javaproficiency.jerseydemo.model;
public class User {
private String name;
private String city;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getCity() {
return city;
}
public void setCity(String city) {
this.city = city;
}
}
Step 3: configure web.xml file as
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
<display-name>JerseyDemo</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>RestServices</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.javaproficiency.jerseydemo.demo</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RestServices</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Step 4: Add dependency in pom.xml file as bellow.
pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

Step 5: Project Structure
Step 6: Hit web service using rest console
url =http://localhost:8080/JerseyDemo/rest/user
json:
{
"name": "raja",
"city": "delhi"
}
Response:
{
"name": "raja",
"city": "delhi"
}
