Is there a way to POST using JSON?

[ghost]

I know I can make a post with the DefaultHttpClient for JSON (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6533234/how-to-make-httppost-call-with-json-encoded-body), but I'd like to use http-request and can't figure out how to do it. So far what I did was cast the JSON to a Map<String, String>, but that has unfortunate side effects, such as doing away with native arrays and numbers. I'm trying to figure out how to use http-request with request.form or something similar.

You need a JSON library such as gson or Jackson to convert what you want to send to JSON.

These libraries will allow you to convert your objects to JSON and then you can forward that JSON as a String or InputStream using this library.

Awesome, I'm actually using gson already, didn't realize I could just append the created json to it. Thanks!
