Jackson

The jackson extension package for Fuel.

Installation

You can download and install fuel-jackson with Maven and Gradle. The jackson package has the following dependencies:

• Fuel

• Jackson: 2.9.8

implementation 'com.github.kittinunf.fuel:fuel:<latest-version>'
implementation 'com.github.kittinunf.fuel:fuel-jackson:<latest-version>'

Usage

The Fuel-Jackson module provides a built in support for Jackson serialization and deserialization.

Serialization

The serialization is done by adding the objectBody extension function into Fuel Request interface.

By default, the objectBody call will use the Charsets.UTF-8 charset and the defaultMapper property defined in FuelJackson.kt.

data class FakeObject(val foo: String = "foo")

Fuel.post("/fooBar")
    .objectBody(FakeObject())

Alternatively, you can provide a custom charset as a parameter to it.

data class FakeObject(val foo: String = "foo")

Fuel.post("/fooBar")
    .objectBody(FakeObject(), Charsets.UTF_16)

You can also provide your own ObjectMapper as a parameter.

data class FakeObject(val foo: String = "foo")

val mapper = ObjectMapper().registerKotlinModule()
                           .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)

mapper.propertyNamingStrategy = PropertyNamingStrategy.SNAKE_CASE

Fuel.post("/fooBar")
    .objectBody(FakeObject(), mapper = mapper)

Deserialization

The deserialization is done by adding the responseObject extension function into Fuel Request interface.

By default, the responseObject call will use the defaultMapper property defined in FuelJackson.kt.

data class HttpBinUserAgentModel(var userAgent: String = "")

Fuel.get("/user-agent")
    .responseObject<HttpBinUserAgentModel>()

Alternatively, you can provide your own ObjectMapper as a parameter to it.

data class HttpBinUserAgentModel(var userAgent: String = "")

val mapper = ObjectMapper().registerKotlinModule()
                           .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)

mapper.propertyNamingStrategy = PropertyNamingStrategy.SNAKE_CASE

Fuel.get("/user-agent")
    .responseObject<HttpBinUserAgentModel>(mapper)

Also, the responseObject overloads allows you to pass Response Handlers as lambda functions

data class HttpBinUserAgentModel(var userAgent: String = "")

Fuel.get("/user-agent").responseObject<HttpBinUserAgentModel> { request, response, result ->
    //handle here
}

or ResponseHandler<T> instances.

data class HttpBinUserAgentModel(var userAgent: String = "")

Fuel.get("/user-agent")
    .responseObject(object : ResponseHandler<HttpBinUserAgentModel> {
           override fun success(request: Request, response: Response, value: HttpBinUserAgentModel) {
              //handle success
           }

           override fun failure(request: Request, response: Response, error: FuelError) {
              //handle failure
           }
     })

Both overloads allows you to provide custom ObjectMapper if needed.
