        <title>JSON</title>

        <para>
            Jersey JSON support comes as a set of extension modules where each of these modules contains an implementation of
            a &jaxrs.core.Feature; that needs to be registered into your &jaxrs.core.Configurable; instance (client/server).
            There are multiple frameworks that provide support for JSON processing and/or JSON-to-Java binding.
            The modules listed below provide support for JSON representations by integrating the individual JSON frameworks into
            Jersey. At present, Jersey integrates with the following modules to provide JSON support:

                        &link.moxy; - JSON binding support via MOXy is a default and preferred way of supporting JSON binding
                        in your Jersey applications since Jersey 2.0. When JSON MOXy module is on the class-path, Jersey will
                        automatically discover the module and seamlessly enable JSON binding support via MOXy in your
                        applications. (See <xref linkend="deployment.autodiscoverable" />.)

            <title>Approaches to JSON Support</title>

            <para>
                Each of the aforementioned extension modules uses one or more of the three basic approaches available when
                working with JSON representations:

                <itemizedlist>
                    <listitem>
                        <para>POJO based JSON binding support</para>
                    </listitem>
                    <listitem>
                        <para>JAXB based JSON binding support</para>
                    </listitem>
                    <listitem>
                        <para>Low-level JSON parsing &amp; processing support</para>
                    </listitem>
                </itemizedlist>

                The first method is pretty generic and allows you to map any Java Object to JSON and vice versa.
                The other two approaches limit you in Java types your resource methods could produce and/or consume.
                JAXB based approach is useful if you plan to utilize certain JAXB features and support both XML and JSON
                representations. The last, low-level, approach gives you the best fine-grained control over the out-coming
                JSON data format.
            </para>

            <section xml:id="json-pojo">
                <title>POJO support</title>

                <para>POJO support represents the easiest way to convert your Java Objects to JSON and back.</para>
                <para>Media modules that support this approach are &link.moxy;, &link.jackson;, and &link.json-b;</para>
            </section>

            <section xml:id="json-jaxb">
                <title>JAXB based JSON support</title>

                <para>
                    Taking this approach will save you a lot of time, if you want to easily produce/consume both JSON and XML
                    data format. With JAXB beans you will be able to use the same Java model to generate JSON as well as XML
                    representations.
                    Another advantage is simplicity of working with such a model and availability of the API in Java SE Platform.
                    JAXB leverages annotated POJOs and these could be handled as simple Java beans.
                </para>
                <para>
                    A disadvantage of JAXB based approach could be if you need to work with a very specific JSON format. Then it
                    might be difficult to find a proper way to get such a format produced and consumed. This is a reason why a
                    lot of configuration options are provided, so that you can control how JAXB beans get serialized and
                    de-serialized. The extra configuration options however requires you to learn more details about the framework
                    you are using.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Following is a very simple example of how a JAXB bean could look like.

                    <example>
                        <title>Simple JAXB bean implementation</title>
                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@XmlRootElement
public class MyJaxbBean {
    public String name;
    public int age;

    public MyJaxbBean() {} // JAXB needs this

    public MyJaxbBean(String name, int age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }
}</programlisting>
                    </example>

                    Using the above JAXB bean for producing JSON data format from you resource method, is then as simple as:

                    <example>
                        <title>JAXB bean used to generate JSON representation</title>
                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@GET
@Produces("application/json")
public MyJaxbBean getMyBean() {
    return new MyJaxbBean("Agamemnon", 32);
}</programlisting>
                    </example>

                    Notice, that JSON specific mime type is specified in &lit.jaxrs.Produces; annotation, and the method returns
                    an instance of <literal>MyJaxbBean</literal>, which JAXB is able to process. Resulting JSON in this case
                    would look like:

                    <programlisting language="text" linenumbering="unnumbered">{"name":"Agamemnon", "age":"32"}</programlisting>
                </para>
                <para>
                    A proper use of JAXB annotations itself enables you to control output JSON format to certain extent.
                    Specifically, renaming and omitting items is easy to do directly just by using JAXB annotations.
                    For example, the following example depicts changes in the above mentioned MyJaxbBean that will result in
                    <literal>{"king":"Agamemnon"}</literal> JSON output.

                    <example>
                        <title>Tweaking JSON format using JAXB</title>
                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@XmlRootElement
public class MyJaxbBean {

    @XmlElement(name="king")
    public String name;

    @XmlTransient
    public int age;

    // several lines removed
}</programlisting>
                    </example>
                </para>

                <para>Media modules that support this approach are &link.moxy;, &link.jackson;, &link.jettison;</para>

            <section xml:id="json-lowlevel">
                <title>Low-level based JSON support</title>

                <para>
                    JSON Processing API is a new standard API for parsing and processing JSON structures in similar way to what
                    SAX and StAX parsers provide for XML. The API is part of Jakarta EE 9 and later. Another such JSON
                    parsing/processing API is provided by Jettison framework (which is also supported in jakartified environment).
                    Both APIs provide a low-level access to producing
                    and consuming JSON data structures. By adopting this low-level approach you would be working with
                    <literal>JsonObject</literal> (or <literal>JSONObject</literal> respectively) and/or
                    <literal>JsonArray</literal> (or <literal>JSONArray</literal> respectively) classes when processing your
                    JSON data representations.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The biggest advantage of these low-level APIs is that you will gain full control over the JSON format
                    produced and consumed. You will also be able to produce and consume very large JSON structures using
                    streaming JSON parser/generator APIs.
                    On the other hand, dealing with your data model objects will probably be a lot more complex, compared
                    to the POJO or JAXB based binding approach. Differences are depicted at the following code snippets.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Let's start with JAXB-based approach.

                    <example>
                        <title>JAXB bean creation</title>
                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">MyJaxbBean myBean = new MyJaxbBean("Agamemnon", 32);</programlisting>
                    </example>

                    Above you construct a simple JAXB bean, which could be written in JSON as
                    <literal>{"name":"Agamemnon", "age":32}</literal>
                </para>

                <para>
                    Now to build an equivalent <literal>JsonObject</literal>/<literal>JSONObject</literal> (in terms of
                    resulting JSON expression), you would need several more lines of code. The following example illustrates
                    how to construct the same JSON data using the standard Jakarta EE 9 JSON-Processing API.
                    <example>
                        <title>Constructing a <literal>JsonObject</literal> (JSON-Processing)</title>
                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">JsonObject myObject = Json.createObjectBuilder()
        .add("name", "Agamemnon")
        .add("age", 32)
        .build();</programlisting>
                    </example>

                    And at last, here's how the same work can be done with Jettison API.
                    <example>
                        <title>Constructing a <literal>JSONObject</literal> (Jettison)</title>
                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">JSONObject myObject = new JSONObject();
try {
    myObject.put("name", "Agamemnon");
    myObject.put("age", 32);
} catch (JSONException ex) {
    LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "Error ...", ex);
}</programlisting>
                    </example>
                </para>
                <para>
                    Media modules that support the low-level JSON parsing and generating approach are &link.json-p;
                    and &link.jettison;. Unless you have a strong reason for using the non-standard &link.jettison; API,
                    we recommend you to use the new standard &link.json-p; API instead.
                </para>

        </section>

        <section xml:id="json.moxy">
            <title>MOXy</title>

            <section>
                <title>Dependency</title>

                <para>
                    To use MOXy as your JSON provider you need to add &lit.jersey-media-moxy; module to your &lit.pom.xml; file:

                    As stated in the <xref linkend="deployment.autodiscoverable"/> as well as earlier in this chapter, MOXy media
                    module is one of the modules where you don't need to explicitly register its &lit.jaxrs.core.Feature;s
                    (&lit.jersey.media.MoxyJsonFeature;) in your client/server &jaxrs.core.Configurable; as this feature is

                    properties you can use a particular method to set the value of the property or you can use more generic
                    methods to set the property:

                    Jackson JSON processor could be controlled via providing a custom Jackson 2 &jersey.media.ObjectMapper; instance.
                    This could be handy if you need to redefine the default Jackson behaviour and to fine-tune how your JSON data
                    structures look like. Detailed description of all Jackson features is out of scope of this guide. The example
                    below gives you a hint on how to wire your &lit.jersey.media.ObjectMapper;
                    instance into your Jersey application.

                    Since the 2.36 version of Jersey it is possible to filter (include/exclude) Jackson modules by properties
                    &jersey.common.CommonProperties.JSON_JACKSON_DISABLED_MODULES; and &jersey.common.CommonProperties.JSON_JACKSON_ENABLED_MODULES;
                    (with their client/server derivatives). If the &jersey.common.CommonProperties.JSON_JACKSON_ENABLED_MODULES; property is used,
                    only those named modules will be used for JSON processing. On the other hand if the &jersey.common.CommonProperties.JSON_JACKSON_DISABLED_MODULES;
                    property is used, those listed modules will be explicitly excluded from processing while other (not listed) will remain. Please note that
                    the <literal>JaxbAnnotationModule</literal> module is always excluded from processing and this is not configurable.

                    In order to use Jackson as your JSON (JAXB/POJO) provider you need to register &jersey.media.JacksonFeature;

                <title>JSON Notations</title>

                <para>
                    &lit.jersey.media.JettisonConfig; allows you to use two JSON notations. Each of these notations serializes
                    JSON in a different way. Following is a list of supported notations:

                    <itemizedlist>
                        <listitem>
                            <para>JETTISON_MAPPED (default notation)</para>
                        </listitem>
                        <listitem>
                            <para>BADGERFISH</para>
                        </listitem>
                    </itemizedlist>

                    You might want to use one of these notations, when working with more complex XML documents. Namely when you
                    deal with multiple XML namespaces in your JAXB beans.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Individual notations and their further configuration options are described below. Rather then explaining
                    rules for mapping XML constructs into JSON, the notations will be described using a simple example. Following
                    are JAXB beans, which will be used.

                    <example>
                        <title>JAXB beans for JSON supported notations description, simple address bean</title>

                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@XmlRootElement
public class Address {
    public String street;
    public String town;

    public Address(){}

    public Address(String street, String town) {
        this.street = street;
        this.town = town;
    }
}</programlisting>
                    </example>

                    <example>
                        <title>JAXB beans for JSON supported notations description, contact bean</title>

                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@XmlRootElement
public class Contact {

    public int id;
    public String name;
    public List&lt;Address&gt; addresses;

    public Contact() {};

    public Contact(int id, String name, List&lt;Address&gt; addresses) {
        this.name = name;
        this.id = id;
        this.addresses =
            (addresses != null) ? new LinkedList&lt;Address&gt;(addresses) : null;
    }
}</programlisting>
                    </example>
                </para>

                <para>
                    Following text will be mainly working with a contact bean initialized with:

                    <example>
                        <title>JAXB beans for JSON supported notations description, initialization</title>
                        <programlisting language="java"  linenumbering="numbered">Address[] addresses = {new Address("Long Street 1", "Short Village")};
Contact contact = new Contact(2, "Bob", Arrays.asList(addresses));</programlisting>
                    </example>

                    I.e. contact bean with <literal>id=2</literal>, <literal>name="Bob"</literal> containing
                    a single address (<literal>street="Long Street 1"</literal>, <literal>town="Short Village"</literal>).
                </para>

                <para>
                    All below described configuration options are documented also in api-docs at &jersey.media.JettisonConfig;.
                </para>

                <section>
                    <title>Jettison mapped notation</title>

                    <para>
                        If you need to deal with various XML namespaces, you will find Jettison <literal>mapped</literal>
                        notation pretty useful. Lets define a particular namespace for <code>id</code> item:

                        <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">...
@XmlElement(namespace="http://example.com")
public int id;
...</programlisting>

                        Then you simply configure a mapping from XML namespace into JSON prefix as follows:

                        <example xml:id="json.jaxb.jettison.mapped.ns.def">
                            <title>
                                XML namespace to JSON mapping configuration for Jettison based <literal>mapped</literal> notation
                            </title>

                            <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">Map&lt;String,String&gt; ns2json = new HashMap&lt;String, String&gt;();
ns2json.put("http://example.com", "example");
context = new JettisonJaxbContext(
    JettisonConfig.mappedJettison().xml2JsonNs(ns2json).build(),
    types);</programlisting>
                        </example>

                        Resulting JSON will look like in the example below.

                        <example>
                            <title>JSON expression with XML namespaces mapped into JSON</title>
                            <programlisting language="xml" linenumbering="numbered">{
   "contact":{
      "example.id":2,
      "name":"Bob",
      "addresses":{
         "street":"Long Street 1",
         "town":"Short Village"
      }
   }
}</programlisting>
                        </example>

                        Please note, that <code>id</code> item became <code>example.id</code> based on the XML namespace mapping.
                        If you have more XML namespaces in your XML, you will need to configure appropriate mapping for all of
                        them.
                    </para>
                    <para>
                        Another configurable option introduced in Jersey version 2.2 is related to serialization of JSON arrays with Jettison's
                        mapped notation. When serializing elements representing single item lists/arrays, you might want to utilise
                        the following Jersey configuration method to explicitly name which elements to treat as arrays no matter what the actual content is.

                        <example xml:id="json.jaxb.jettison.mapped.array.def">
                            <title>
                                JSON Array configuration for Jettison based <literal>mapped</literal> notation
                            </title>

                            <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">context = new JettisonJaxbContext(
    JettisonConfig.mappedJettison().serializeAsArray("name").build(),
    types);</programlisting>
                        </example>

                        Resulting JSON will look like in the example below, unimportant lines removed for sanity.

                        <example>
                            <title>JSON expression with JSON arrays explicitly configured via Jersey</title>
                            <programlisting language="xml" linenumbering="numbered">{
   "contact":{
      ...
      "name":["Bob"],
      ...
   }
}</programlisting>
                        </example>

                    <title>Badgerfish notation</title>

                    <para>
                        From JSON and JavaScript perspective, this notation is definitely the worst readable one.
                        You will probably not want to use it, unless you need to make sure your JAXB beans could be flawlessly
                        written and read back to and from JSON, without bothering with any formatting configuration, namespaces,
                        etc.
                    </para>

                    <para>
                        &lit.jersey.media.JettisonConfig; instance using <literal>badgerfish</literal> notation could be built
                        with

                        <programlisting language="java">JettisonConfig.badgerFish().build()</programlisting>

                        and the JSON output JSON will be as follows.

                    In order to use Jettison as your JSON (JAXB/POJO) provider you need to register &jersey.media.JettisonFeature;

                </example>

                Assume that we have registered a JSON providers and that the <literal>JaxbBean</literal> looks like:

                <example>
                    <title>JaxbBean for @JSONP example</title>

                    <programlisting language="java">@XmlRootElement
public class JaxbBean {

    private String value;

    public JaxbBean() {}

    public JaxbBean(final String value) {
        this.value = value;
    }

    public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }

    public void setValue(final String value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
}</programlisting>
                </example>

                When you send a &lit.http.GET; request with &lit.http.header.Accept; header set to
                <literal>application/javascript</literal> you'll get a result entity that look like:

                <programlisting language="xml">callback({
    "value" : "jsonp",
})</programlisting>
            </para>

            <para>
                There are, of course, ways to configure wrapping method of the returned entity which defaults to
                <literal>callback</literal> as you can see in the previous example.
                &lit.jersey.server.JSONP; has two parameters that can be configured: <literal>callback</literal> and
                <literal>queryParam</literal>.
                <literal>callback</literal> stands for the name of the JavaScript callback function defined by the application.
                The second parameter, <literal>queryParam</literal>, defines the name of the query parameter holding the name of
                the callback function to be used (if present in the request). Value of <literal>queryParam</literal> defaults to
                <literal>__callback</literal> so even if you do not set the name of the query parameter yourself, client can
                always affect the result name of the wrapping JavaScript callback method.

                    <para>
                        <literal>queryParam</literal> value (if set) always takes precedence over <literal>callback</literal>

                    To use JSON-B as your JSON provider you need to add &lit.jersey-media-json-binding; module to your

                    As stated in <xref linkend="deployment.autodiscoverable"/> JSON-Binding media module is one of the
                    modules where you don't need to explicitly register its
                    &lit.jaxrs.core.Feature;s (&lit.jersey.media.JsonBindingFeature;) in your client/server
                    &jaxrs.core.Configurable; as this feature is automatically discovered and registered when you add
                    &lit.jersey-media-json-binding; module to your classpath.

                <para>
                    To use custom preconfigured JSON-B, it is simply possible to register
                    a &lit.jaxrs.ext.ContextResolver; for &lit.jsonb.Jsonb; in your &jaxrs.core.Configurable;
                    (client/server) and configure &jsonb.JsonbConfig;.

            As you probably already know, Jersey uses &lit.jaxrs.ext.MessageBodyWriter;s and &lit.jaxrs.ext.MessageBodyReader;s to
            parse incoming requests and create outgoing responses. Every user can create its own representation but... this is not
            recommended way how to do things. XML is proven standard for interchanging information, especially in web services.
            Jerseys supports low level data types used for direct manipulation and JAXB XML entities.
        </para>

        <section>
            <title xml:id="xml.lowlevel">Low level XML support</title>

            <para>
                Jersey currently support several low level data types: &jdk7.StreamSource;, &jdk7.SAXSource;, &jdk7.DOMSource;
                and &jdk7.org.w3c.dom.Document;. You can use these types as the return type or as a method (resource) parameter.
                Lets say we want to test this feature and we have
                <link xlink:href='&jersey.github.examples.uri;/helloworld'>helloworld example</link> as a starting point.
                All we need to do is add methods (resources) which consumes and produces XML and types mentioned above will be
                used.
            </para>

            <example>

            <para>
                Both &lit.jaxrs.ext.MessageBodyWriter; and &lit.jaxrs.ext.MessageBodyReader; are used in this case, all we need is
                a &lit.http.POST; request with some XML document as a request entity. To keep this as simple as possible only root
                element with no content will be sent: <literal>"&lt;test /&gt;"</literal>. You can create JAX-RS client to do that
                or use some other tool, for example <literal>curl</literal>:
                <informalexample>
                    <programlisting>curl -v http://localhost:8080/base/helloworld/StreamSource -d "&lt;test/&gt;"</programlisting>
                </informalexample>
                You should get exactly the same XML from our service as is present in the request; in this case, XML headers are
                added to response but content stays. Feel free to iterate through all resources.

                is <link xlink:href='&jersey.github.examples.uri;/jaxb'>JAXB example</link>. You can see various use-cases there.
                This text is mainly meant for those who don't have prior experience with JAXB. Don't expect that all possible
                annotations and their combinations will be covered in this chapter,
                <link xlink:href='http://jaxb.java.net'>JAXB (JSR 222 implementation)</link>
                is pretty complex and comprehensive. But if you just want to know how you can interchange XML messages with your
                REST service, you are looking at the right chapter.
            </para>

            <para>
                Lets start with simple example. Lets say we have class <literal>Planet</literal> and service which produces
                "Planets".
            </para>

            <example>
                <title>Planet class</title>
                <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@XmlRootElement
public class Planet {
    public int id;
    public String name;
    public double radius;
}</programlisting>
            </example>

            <example>
                <title>Resource class</title>
                <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@Path("planet")
public class Resource {

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
    public Planet getPlanet() {
        final Planet planet = new Planet();

        planet.id = 1;
        planet.name = "Earth";
        planet.radius = 1.0;

        return planet;
    }
}</programlisting>
            </example>

            <para>
                You can see there is some extra annotation declared on <literal>Planet</literal> class, particularly
                &jaxb.annotation.XmlRootElement;. This is an JAXB annotation which maps java classes
                to XML elements. We don't need to specify anything else, because <literal>Planet</literal> is very simple class
                and all fields are public. In this case, XML element name will be derived from the class name or
                you can set the name property: <literal>@XmlRootElement(name="yourName")</literal>.
            </para>

            <para>
                Our resource class will respond to <literal>GET /planet</literal> with

                <programlisting language="xml">&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt;
&lt;planet&gt;
    &lt;id&gt;1&lt;/id&gt;
    &lt;name&gt;Earth&lt;/name&gt;
    &lt;radius&gt;1.0&lt;/radius&gt;
&lt;/planet&gt;</programlisting>

                which might be exactly what we want... or not. Or we might not really care, because we
                can use JAX-RS client for making requests to this resource and this is easy as:
                <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="unnumbered">
                    Planet planet = webTarget.path("planet").request(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).get(Planet.class);
                </programlisting>
                There is pre-created &lit.jaxrs.client.WebTarget; object which points to our applications context root and
                we simply add path (in our case its <literal>planet</literal>), accept header (not mandatory, but service could
                provide different content based on this header; for example <literal>text/html</literal> can be served for web
                browsers) and at the end we specify that we are expecting <literal>Planet</literal> class via &lit.http.GET;
                request.
            </para>

            <para>
                There may be need for not just producing XML, we might want to consume it as well.

                <example>
                    <title>Method for consuming Planet</title>
                    <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="numbered">@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public void setPlanet(Planet planet) {
    System.out.println("setPlanet " + planet);
}</programlisting>
                </example>

                After valid request is made, service will print out string representation of <literal>Planet</literal>, which can
                look like <literal>Planet{id=2, name='Mars', radius=1.51}</literal>. With JAX-RS client you can do:
                <programlisting language="java" linenumbering="unnumbered">
                    webTarget.path("planet").request().post(Entity.xml(planet));
                </programlisting>
            </para>

            <para>
                If there is a need for some other (non default) XML representation, other JAXB annotations would
                need to be used. This process is usually simplified by generating java source from XML Schema which is
                done by <literal>xjc</literal> which is XML to java compiler and it is part of JAXB.

                Sometimes you can't / don't want to add JAXB annotations to source code and you still want to have resources
                consuming and producing XML representation of your classes. In this case, &jaxb.JAXBElement; class should help
                you. Let's redo planet resource but this time we won't have an &jaxb.annotation.XmlRootElement; annotation on
                <literal>Planet</literal> class.
            </para>

            <example>

            <para>
                As you can see, everything is little more complicated with &lit.jaxb.JAXBElement;. This is because now you need
                to explicitly set element name for <literal>Planet</literal> class XML representation. Client side is even more
                complicated than server side because you can't do <literal>JAXBElement&lt;Planet&gt;</literal> so JAX-RS client
                API provides way how to workaround it by declaring subclass of &lit.jaxrs.core.GenericType;.

                &lit.jaxb.JAXBContext; is an expensive operation and if you already have one created, same instance
                can be used by Jersey. Other possible use-case for this is when you need to set some specific things
                to &lit.jaxb.JAXBContext;, for example to set a different class loader.

                    To use multipart features you need to add &lit.jersey-media-multipart; module to your &lit.pom.xml; file:

                    <programlisting language="xml">&lt;dependency&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;org.glassfish.jersey.media&lt;/groupId&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;jersey-media-multipart&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;version&gt;&version;&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;</programlisting>

                    If you're not using Maven make sure to have all needed dependencies (see &jersey.media.multipart.deps.link;) on the
                    class-path.

                When working with forms (e.g. media type <literal>multipart/form-data</literal>) and various fields in them,
                there is a more convenient class to be used - &jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart;. It automatically sets
                the media type for the &lit.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart; entity to
                <literal>multipart/form-data</literal> and <literal>Content-Disposition</literal> header to
                &lit.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataBodyPart; body parts.

                <example>
                    <title>&lit.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart; entity</title>
                    <programlisting language="java">final FormDataMultiPart multipart = new FormDataMultiPart()
    .field("hello", "hello")
    .field("xml", new JaxbBean("xml"))

final WebTarget target = // Create WebTarget.
final Response response = target.request().post(Entity.entity(multipart, multipart.getMediaType()));</programlisting>
                </example>

                To illustrate the difference when using &lit.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart; instead of
                &lit.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataBodyPart; you can take a look at the
                &lit.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart; entity from HTML message:

                    entity types.
                    Jersey provides &lit.jaxrs.ext.MessageBodyReader; for reading the request entity and injecting this entity
                    into a method parameter of a resource method and &lit.jaxrs.ext.MessageBodyWriter; for writing output entities.
                    You can expect that either &lit.jersey.media.multipart.MultiPart; or
                    &lit.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart; (<literal>multipart/form-data</literal> media type) object
