Jerry-Http

jerry-http library makes it possible to make internet calls super-easy. All calls return a WebResponse object that has many utility methods to work with. Most of the HTML/CSS/JS resource calls, or REST calls are now a single line of code away.

Let’s see the details in the following example:

// fetch the response from http://sangupta.com
WebResponse response = WebInvoker.getResponse("http://sangupta.com");

// check if we could connect to the server
if(response == null) {
	// could not connect - either no internet, or no host
}

if(!response.isSuccess()) {
	// we received an HTTP error code: 4xx or 5xx
}

// get string contents in encoding specified
String content = response.getContent();

// get byte-array
byte[] bytes = response.asBytes();

More examples are detailed below.

The library is tested on the following JDK versions:

• Oracle JDK 8
• Oracle JDK 7
• Open JDK 7

Examples

GET a WebResponse from http://sangupta.com

WebResponse response = WebInvoker.getResponse("http://sangupta.com");
