GWT JSON Overlay

Created April 3, 2025

The Google Web Toolkit JSON Overlay library provides the JSON Overlays that can be used to access the Web service API for this application.

JSON Overlay Example
String url = ...;
RequestBuilder request = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET, url);
request.sendRequest(null, new RequestCallback() {
  public void onResponseReceived(Request request, Response response) {
    if (200 == response.getStatusCode()) {
      //handle the successful data...
      JavaScriptObject data = JavaScriptObject.fromJson(response.getText());
      //handle the JavaScriptObject...
    }
    else {
      //handle the error...
    }
  }

  public void onError(Request request, Throwable throwable) {
    //handle the error...
  }
});

Java JSON Client Library

Created April 3, 2025

The Java client-side library is used to provide the set of Java objects that can be serialized to/from JSON using Jackson. This is useful for accessing the JSON REST endpoints that are published by this application.

Resources Example (Raw JAXB)
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(baseURL + "/datasource/test");
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
java.net.URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.connect();

mapper.writeValue(connection.getOutputStream(), enhancedJDBCDataSourceCfg);
Object result = (Object) mapper.readValue( connection.getInputStream(), Object.class );
//handle the result as needed...
Resources Example (Jersey client)
javax.ws.rs.client.Client client = javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder.newClient();

Object result = client.target(baseUrl + "/datasource/test")
  .post(javax.ws.rs.client.Entity.entity(enhancedJDBCDataSourceCfg, "application/json"), Object.class);

//handle the result as needed...

JavaScript Client Library

Created April 3, 2025

The JavaScript client-side library defines classes that can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This is useful for accessing the resources that are published by this application, but only those that produce a JSON representation of their resources (content type "application/json").

The library uses ES6 class syntax which has limited support. See MDN and the ES6 Compatibility Table for more details.

The library contains a UMD loader which supports AMD, CommonJS and browser globals. The browser global variable name for this library is "javascriptClient".

JavaScript Example
//read the resource in JSON:
var json = JSON.parse(jsonString);

//create an object
var object = new Object(json);

//retreive the json again
var newJson = object.toJSON();

//serialize the json
var newJsonString = JSON.stringify(newJson);

PHP JSON Client Library

Created April 3, 2025

The PHP JSON client-side library defines the PHP classes that can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This is useful for accessing the resources that are published by this application, but only those that produce a JSON representation of their resources (content type "application/json").

This library requires the json_encode function which was included in PHP versions 5.2.0+.

PHP JSON Example
//read the resource in JSON:
$json = ...;

//read the json as an array.
$parsed = json_decode($json, true);

//read the json array as the object
$result = new Object($parsed);

//open a writer for the json
$json = $result->toJson();

Ruby JSON Client Library

Created April 3, 2025

The Ruby JSON client-side library defines the Ruby classes that can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This is useful for accessing the REST endpoints that are published by this application, but only those that produce a JSON representation of their resources (content type "application/json").

This library leverages the Ruby JSON Implementation, which is required in order to use this library.

Ruby JSON Example
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'
//...

//read a resource from a REST url
url = URI.parse("...")
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.request_uri)
input = Object.new
//set up the Object...
request.body = input.to_json
request['Content-Type'] = "application/json"

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
//set up additional http stuff...
res = http.start do |ht|
  ht.request(request)
end

result = Object.from_json(JSON.parse(res.body))

//handle the result as needed...
