# HTT4J | ||
|
||
## Description | ||
|
||
This is a simple, lightweight and tiny wrapper for Java's HttpURLConnection. It has no external | ||
dependencies and is written for Java 8. | ||
|
||
It comes with a entity mapping system (serialization and deserialization for request and response bodies) | ||
with optional mappings for third party libraries (currently supporting: GSON). | ||
|
||
### Rationale | ||
|
||
Most HTTP client for Java are either built for Java 11+, or have a large amount of dependencies, | ||
which means that in order to use them, one needs to built a fatjar that often end up being huge. | ||
This aims to offer a nicer way to interact with the Java 8 HTTP client, without having to double the | ||
size of the output artifacts. | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
### Repository | ||
|
||
HTT4J is available from [IntellectualSites](https://intellectualsites.com)' maven repository: | ||
|
||
```xml | ||
<repository> | ||
<id>intellectualsites-snapshots</id> | ||
<url>https://mvn.intellectualsites.com/content/repositories/snapshots</url> | ||
</repository> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```xml | ||
<dependency> | ||
<groupId>com.intellectualsites.http</groupId> | ||
<artifactId>HTTP4J</artifactId> | ||
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> | ||
</dependency> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Code | ||
|
||
All requests are done using an instance of `com.intellectualsites.http.HttpClient`: | ||
|
||
```java | ||
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newBuilder() | ||
.withBaseURL("https://your.api.com") | ||
.build(); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The client also take in a `com.intellectualsites.http.EntityMapper` instance. This | ||
is used to map request & response bodies to Java objects. By default, it includes a mapper | ||
for Java strings. | ||
|
||
```java | ||
EntityMapper entityMapper = EntityMapper.newInstance() | ||
.registerDeserializer(JsonObject.class, GsonMapper.deserializer(JsonObject.class, GSON)); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The above snippet would create an entity mapper that maps to and from Java strings, and | ||
from HTTP response's to GSON json objects. | ||
|
||
This can then be included in the HTTP client by using `<builder>.withEntityMapper(mapper)` to | ||
be used in all requests, or added to individual requests. | ||
|
||
HTTP4J also supports request decorators, that can be used to modify each request. These are | ||
added by using: | ||
|
||
```java | ||
builder.withDecorator(request -> { | ||
request.doSomething(); | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The built client can then be used to make HTTP requests, like such: | ||
|
||
```java | ||
client.post("/some/api").withInput(() -> "Hello World") | ||
.onStatus(200, response -> { | ||
System.out.println("Everything is fine"); | ||
System.out.println("Response: " + response.getResponseEntity(String.class)); | ||
}) | ||
.onStatus(404, response -> System.err.println("Could not find the resource =(")) | ||
.onRemaining(response -> System.err.printf("Got status code: %d\n", response.getStatusCode())) | ||
.onException(Throwable::printStackTrace) | ||
.execute(); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
#### Exception Handling | ||
|
||
HTTP4J will forward all RuntimeExceptions by default, and wrap all other exceptions (that do not | ||
extend RuntimeException) in a RuntimeException. | ||
|
||
By using `onException(exception -> {})` you are able to modify the behaviour. | ||
|
||
#### Examples | ||
|
||
