JSON Web Service over simple HTTP GET/POST

Can you suggest a way or a framework or etc. for Java EE in order to make simple HTTP GET/POST calls to some web services like in SOAP web services but transport format must be JSON; not XML and there must not be any wrapper around(may be some vey lightweight 开发者_JAVA技巧header) like SOAP etc.

In short, my purpose is to serve web services using JSON and HTTP Get/Post in a maximum possible lightweight solution.

A JSON Web Service can be as simple as a servlet that parses the JSON text data from the request, and outputs text in JSON format in the response. JSON is a pretty simple format - you might not need a framework.

My favorite RESTful web services framework is Restlet.

If you want the ability to support a SOAP service as well as a RESTful one, check out Apache CXF.

Both of these frameworks support JSON, and either are suitable for both client side and server side applications.

Have a look at Dropwizard. Their documentation is very good and should have you writing REST services using JSON as transport very quickly.

Saw the date of the post just now oops...
