Sharepoint Java API

This library is calling SharePoint restful API https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn499819.aspx

Why make this library

Calling SharePoint restful api using java is not that simple, first need to get the request token, secondly you need to get the rtfa and FedAuth keys. Now if you calling http-get methods, you need to stuck those keys into cookies. If you are calling http-post methods, you need to get the X-RequestDigest key from other request first, so it would be very very trouble and this library handled all these for you

Becareful

Please encode the parameter yourself:

There is space in the parameter, so dont just pass it -> String jsonString = SPOnline.get(token, serverInfo.domain, serverInfo.path + "/_api/web/lists?$select=ID,Title&$filter=basetype eq 1&$orderby=title");

do:

Encode it : String jsonString = SPOnline.get(token, serverInfo.domain, serverInfo.path + "/_api/web/lists?$select=ID,Title&$filter=" + URLEncoder.encode("basetype eq 1", "utf-8") + "&$orderby=title");
