I'm looking for the best way to stream live data over the http protocol with java.
I'm currently using HttpURLConnection to receive json feeds, I would like to know if it can be used to stream feeds too.
If you are looking for the "best" way to stream HTTP and JSON, I would suggest going with Apache HttpComponents and Jackson JSON library.
However, if you are just looking for streaming of a HttpURLConnection, the getInputStream method should provide for that.
