Spring restTemplate get raw json string


How can I get the raw json string from spring rest template? I have tried following code but it returns me json without quotes which causes other issues, how can i get the json as is.

ResponseEntity<Object> response  = restTemplate.getForEntity(url, Object.class);
String json = response.getBody().toString();

Solution

  • You don't even need ResponseEntitys! Just use getForObject with a String.class like:

    final RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    final String response = restTemplate.getForObject("https://httpbin.org/ip", String.class);
    
    System.out.println(response);
    

    It will print something like:

    {
      "origin": "1.2.3.4"
    }
