Quick Start:

Dependency

maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>ch.viascom.groundwork</groupId>
    <artifactId>foxhttp</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.6</version>
</dependency>

gradle

compile 'ch.viascom.groundwork:foxhttp:1.3.6'

Send a request with JSON response deserialization

To run this example you need to add Gson to your dependency management!

// Define Http-Client and set parser for serialization/deserialization
FoxHttpClient foxHttpClient = new FoxHttpClientBuilder(new GsonParser()).build();

// Define a System-Out logger on DEBUG level
foxHttpClient.setFoxHttpLogger(new SystemOutFoxHttpLogger(true, "FoxHttp-Logger", FoxHttpLoggerLevel.DEBUG));

// Create and Execute GET Request
FoxHttpResponse response = new FoxHttpRequestBuilder("http://httpbin.org/get?search=Viascom", RequestType.GET, foxHttpClient).buildAndExecute();

// Deserialization response
GetResponse object = response.getParsedBody(GetResponse.class);

// Print result
System.out.println("Parsed-Output: " + object);

To deserialize the response you need the following model:

public class GetResponse implements Serializable {

    public HashMap<String, String> args;
    public HashMap<String, String> headers;
    public String origin;
    public String url;

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "GetResponse{" +
                "args=" + args +
                ", headers=" + headers +
                ", origin='" + origin + '\'' +
                ", url='" + url + '\'' +
                '}';
    }
}
