Interface RequestBody

public interface RequestBody

  • Method Details

    • asString

      String asString()
      Returns:
      the entire HTTP request body as a string, assuming UTF-8 encoding if the request does not provide the content type charset attribute. If a charset is provided in the request that it shall be respected. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.

    • asString

      String asString(String encoding)
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a string, assuming the specified encoding. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.
      Parameters:
      encoding - the encoding, e.g. "UTF-16"
      Returns:
      the body

    • asJsonObject

      JsonObject asJsonObject(int maxAllowedLength)
      Gets the current body buffer as a JsonObject. If a positive limit is provided the parsing will only happen if the buffer length is smaller or equal to the limit. Otherwise an IllegalStateException is thrown. When the application is only handling uploads in JSON format, it is recommended to set a limit on BodyHandler.setBodyLimit(long) as this will avoid the upload to be parsed and loaded into the application memory.
      Parameters:
      maxAllowedLength - if the current buffer length is greater than the limit an IllegalStateException is thrown. This can be used to avoid DDoS attacks on very long JSON payloads that could take over the CPU while attempting to parse the data.
      Returns:
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a JsonObject. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.
      When the body is null or the "null" JSON literal then null is returned.

    • asJsonArray

      JsonArray asJsonArray(int maxAllowedLength)
      Gets the current body buffer as a JsonArray. If a positive limit is provided the parsing will only happen if the buffer length is smaller or equal to the limit. Otherwise an IllegalStateException is thrown. When the application is only handling uploads in JSON format, it is recommended to set a limit on BodyHandler.setBodyLimit(long) as this will avoid the upload to be parsed and loaded into the application memory.
      Parameters:
      maxAllowedLength - if the current buffer length is greater than the limit an IllegalStateException is thrown. This can be used to avoid DDoS attacks on very long JSON payloads that could take over the CPU while attempting to parse the data.
      Returns:
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a JsonArray. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.
      When the body is null or the "null" JSON literal then null is returned.

    • asJsonObject

      default JsonObject asJsonObject()
      Returns:
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a JsonObject. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.
      When the body is null or the "null" JSON literal then null is returned.

    • asJsonArray

      default JsonArray asJsonArray()
      Returns:
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a JsonArray. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.
      When the body is null or the "null" JSON literal then null is returned.

    • buffer

      Buffer buffer()
      Returns:
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a Buffer. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.

    • asPojo

      <R> R asPojo(Class<R> clazz, int maxAllowedLength)
      Parameters:
      maxAllowedLength - if the current buffer length is greater than the limit an IllegalStateException is thrown. This can be used to avoid DDoS attacks on very long JSON payloads that could take over the CPU while attempting to parse the data.
      Returns:
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a POJO. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.
      When the body is null or the "null" JSON literal then null is returned. WARNING: This feature requires jackson-databind. Or another JSON codec that implements POJO parsing

    • asPojo

      default <R> R asPojo(Class<R> clazz)
      Returns:
      Get the entire HTTP request body as a POJO. The context must have first been routed to a BodyHandler for this to be populated.
      When the body is null or the "null" JSON literal then null is returned. WARNING: This feature requires jackson-databind. Or another JSON codec that implements POJO parsing

    • length

      int length()
      Returns the total length of the body buffer. This is the length in bytes. When there is no buffer the length is -1.
      Returns:
      length in bytes.

    • isEmpty

      default boolean isEmpty()
      A body can be empty if it is not available, or its length is 0.
      Returns:
      true if empty.

    • available

      boolean available()
      Return true if a BodyHandler was executed before this call in the lifetime of the request.
      Returns:
      true if body was parsed during the duration of the request.
