RESTful Web Services with Java (JAX-RS) parse JSON (Jersey)

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">

    </dependencies>

</project>


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"
                 }
