Read chunked HTTP request in Java

Question

We have a GET API request that returns a very large JSON.

Is there any way to read chunks of that JSON in java spring boot via restTemplate?

Answer 1

No, you need an JSON api for that. If you don't have a api for that you simply can't anything with your large JSON. You you can download a simple JSON api here: https://github.com/fangyidong/json-simple . There you can parse ur very large JSON into a JsonObject with final JSONObject obj = (JSONObject) new JSONParser().parse(ur big json string). If you want to read chunks of the JSON you can use the obj.get(key) method.

Example: Your JSON is: {test:"test1"}

final JSONObject obj = (JSONObject) new JSONParser().parse("{test:\"test1\"}");

obj.get("test"); It will return test1.

If I made any misteak then correct me.

Edit: I understand it now. You could just remove parts of the Json by using obj.remove(key) and your json shouldn't be that big
