对于Java 11，你可以使用新的HTTP客户端:

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("http://localhost/api"))
    .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
    .POST(ofInputStream(() -> getClass().getResourceAsStream(
        "/some-data.json")))
    .build();

client.sendAsync(request, BodyHandlers.ofString())
    .thenApply(HttpResponse::body)
    .thenAccept(System.out::println)
    .join();

你可以使用InputStream, String, File中的发布者。将JSON转换为字符串或IS可以用Jackson完成。

Java 11标准的HTTP客户端API，实现了HTTP/2和Web Socket，可以在java.net.HTTP找到。*:

String payload = "{\"name\": \"myname\", \"age\": \"20\"}";
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder(URI.create("www.site.com"))
            .header("content-type", "application/json")
            .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString(payload))
            .build();
    
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());

使用HttpURLConnection可能是最简单的。

http://www.xyzws.com/Javafaq/how-to-use-httpurlconnection-post-data-to-web-server/139

你将使用JSONObject或其他东西来构造JSON，但不是用来处理网络;你需要序列化它，然后将它传递给一个HttpURLConnection到POST。

protected void sendJson(final String play, final String prop) {
     Thread t = new Thread() {
     public void run() {
        Looper.prepare(); //For Preparing Message Pool for the childThread
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 1000); //Timeout Limit
        HttpResponse response;
        JSONObject json = new JSONObject();

            try {
                HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://192.168.0.44:80");
                json.put("play", play);
                json.put("Properties", prop);
                StringEntity se = new StringEntity(json.toString());
                se.setContentType(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
                post.setEntity(se);
                response = client.execute(post);

                /*Checking response */
                if (response != null) {
                    InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent(); //Get the data in the entity
                }

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                showMessage("Error", "Cannot Estabilish Connection");
            }

            Looper.loop(); //Loop in the message queue
        }
    };
    t.start();
}

Java 8与apache httpClient 4

CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("www.site.com");


String json = "details={\"name\":\"myname\",\"age\":\"20\"} ";

        try {
            StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(json);
            httpPost.setEntity(entity);

            // set your POST request headers to accept json contents
            httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

            try {
                // your closeablehttp response
                CloseableHttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);

                // print your status code from the response
                System.out.println(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());

                // take the response body as a json formatted string 
                String responseJSON = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());

                // convert/parse the json formatted string to a json object
                JSONObject jobj = new JSONObject(responseJSON);

                //print your response body that formatted into json
                System.out.println(jobj);

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (JSONException e) {

                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

我推荐在apache http api上构建http-request。

HttpRequest<String> httpRequest = HttpRequestBuilder.createPost(yourUri, String.class)
    .responseDeserializer(ResponseDeserializer.ignorableDeserializer()).build();

public void send(){
   ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = httpRequest.execute("details", yourJsonData);

   int statusCode = responseHandler.getStatusCode();
   String responseContent = responseHandler.orElse(null); // returns Content from response. If content isn't present returns null. 
}

如果你想发送JSON作为请求体，你可以:

  ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = httpRequest.executeWithBody(yourJsonData);

我强烈建议在使用前阅读文档。
