Jackson API client - how to read json from URL?


This page shows how to read Json data from JSON API URLs using jackson APIs.

Note: Refer How to convert Java object to JSON string? page for dependent libraries.

Here is the input json file:

Json Input from URL: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
{
  "userId": 1,
  "id": 7,
  "title": "magnam facilis autem",
  "body": "dolore placeat quibusdam ea quo vitae"
}

package com.java2novice.json;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.java2novice.models.Post;

public class ReadJsonEx {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
		try {
			Post usrPost = mapper.readValue(new URL("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/7"), Post.class);
			System.out.println(usrPost);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

package com.java2novice.models;

public class Post {

	private int userId;
	private int id;
	private String title;
	private String body;
	
	public int getUserId() {
		return userId;
	}

	public void setUserId(int userId) {
		this.userId = userId;
	}

	public int getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(int id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getTitle() {
		return title;
	}

	public void setTitle(String title) {
		this.title = title;
	}

	public String getBody() {
		return body;
	}

	public void setBody(String body) {
		this.body = body;
	}

	public String toString(){
		return this.userId+" | "+this.id +" | "+this.title+" | "+this.body; 
	}
}

Output:
1 | 7 | magnam facilis autem | dolore placeat quibusdam ea quo vitae

Pass by value Vs Pass by reference
Pass by value: Passing a copy of the value, not the original reference.

Pass by reference: Passsing the address of the object, so that you can access the original object.
Famous Quotations
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
