Java Jsoup - simple http GET example with json parsing to java DTO object

To run this example we need to have some working REST API backend. This example was tested on my localhost tomcat, where I have some simple method which return user data.

Simple example:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import org.jsoup.Connection;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.junit.Test;

public class JsoupTests {

    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {

        String url = "http://localhost:8080/getUserData";

        Connection.Response response = Jsoup.connect(url)
                .followRedirects(true)
                .ignoreHttpErrors(true)
                .userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like " +
                        "Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.4 Safari/537.36")
                .method(Connection.Method.GET)
                .timeout(15000)
                .ignoreContentType(true)
                .execute();

        String responseJson = response.body();

        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        UserResponse resp = mapper.readValue(responseJson, UserResponse.class);

        // UserResponse{username='Seth', userAge=25}
        System.out.println(resp.toString());
    }
}

Output:

UserResponse{username='Seth', userAge=25}
