Restlet send "get" request to server and process response

I would like to send a get request to a remote server using Restlet and receive the response (as Json).

Here is my starting point, please feel free to complete:

ClientResource cr = new ClientResource("https://"+url);

JsonRepresentation r = (JsonRepresentation) cr.get();

r.getJsonObject().get("MY_VALUE");

Restlet version 2.1.7

Json: {"title":"General Terms & Conditions","version":"20022014_001"}

Solution

  • In fact, you don't use the JsonRepresentation the right way. The method get of the class ClientResource doesn't return an element of such type. You must use it as described below:

    ClientResource cr = new ClientResource("https://"+url);
Representation repr = cr.get();
JsonRepresentation jsonRepr = new JsonRepresentation(repr);

String value = jsonRepr.getJsonObject().get("MY_VALUE");

    Hope it helps you, Thierry
