HTTP POST using JSON in Java

要在 java 裡接收 post 收到的 json，範例如下：

 Read the Response From Input Stream

Get the input stream to read the response content. Remember to use try-with-resources to close the response stream automatically.

Read through the whole response content, and print the final response string:

try(BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
  new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream(), "utf-8"))) {
    StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();
    String responseLine = null;
    while ((responseLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
        response.append(responseLine.trim());
    }
    System.out.println(response.toString());
}

如果是要透過 java 送出，範例如下：

Here is what you need to do:

1. Get the Apache HttpClient, this would enable you to make the required request
2. Create an HttpPost request with it and add the header application/x-www-form-urlencoded
3. Create a StringEntity that you will pass JSON to it
4. Execute the call

The code roughly looks like (you will still need to debug it and make it work):

// @Deprecated HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
try {
    HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://yoururl");
    StringEntity params = new StringEntity("details={\"name\":\"xyz\",\"age\":\"20\"} ");
    request.addHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    request.setEntity(params);
    HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
} catch (Exception ex) {
} finally {
    // @Deprecated httpClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown(); 
}
