HttpEntityContent

Represents an HTTP request or response entity.

The contents of the entity can be accessed using the body property. If expecting JSON-encoded content, HTML, or XML content, a parsed representation of the content can be accessed using the json , html , or xml properties. If there are errors parsing the content, they are available in the parseError property.

Introduced in version 4.2.

Properties

byte [] raw

The uninterpreted bytes of the entity.

String defaultCharset

The default charset for this entity, if any.

String defaultContentType

The default content type for this entity, if any.

String body

The entity body as a string.

String text

The entity body as a string.

Document xml

The body as a parsed XML DOM structure. If parsing fails, this property will be null and any exceptions can be read from the parseError property. The DOM structure can be interrogated using normal Freemarker XML handling; see the Freemarker documentation ( https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/xgui.html for details.

Object json

The body as a parsed JSON object. This can also be done manually in Freemarker using response.body?eval ; this property is provided as a convenience. If the parsing of the JSON fails, this property will be null and any exceptions can be read from the parseError property.

Document html

The body as a DOM structure generated by the Jsoup Java library ( https://jsoup.org/ ). If the parsing of the body fails, this property will be null and any exceptions can be read from the parseError property.

String base64

The raw entity encoded as base64 string. This can be used to handle binary data, for example to store a file that includes binary data.

String dataUrl

The bytes encoded as a data URL using the appropriate default MIME type.

Exception parseError

The Java exception caused by an attempt to parse the body content when accessed via xml , html , or json .
