<div>
You will need<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-42932474-1">public class Car {
    private String brand;
    // getters and setters
}</code></pre>
<br />
and then <br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-42932474-2">List&lt;Car&gt; cars = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();
Car toyota = new Car();
car.setBrand(&quot;toyota&quot;);
cars.add(car);</code></pre>
</div>


You will need



public class Car {
    private String brand;
    // getters and setters
}


and then



List<Car> cars = new ArrayList<>();
Car toyota = new Car();
car.setBrand("toyota");
cars.add(car);

I'm trying to figure out how to serialize an array of java objects and post as json with jax-rs ClientBuilder using jersey and/or jackson.<br />
<br />
I'm using the ClientBuilder to do a post. If for example you have an Arraylist of Car objects<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29156522-1">List&lt;Car&gt; cars = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();</code></pre>
And I want to do something like:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29156522-2">Response response = ClientBuilder
.newClient.target(url)
.request()
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.post(Entity.json(cars));</code></pre>
and post exactly this as the payload<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29156522-3">[{&quot;brand&quot;: &quot;toyota&quot;}]</code></pre>
How would I need to implement the Car object? And how would I need to setup my ClientBuilder chain properly?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

JavaScript Object Notation, or JSON, is human-readable text used when transmitting data objects consisting of attribute:value pairs between a server and a web application as an alternative to XML. JSON, while it is originally derived from JavaScript, is a language-independent data format. Code for parsing and generating JSON data is available in many programming languages.
