Controller
#RestController
public class JsonDataController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/template/products")
public void getAllData() {
RestTemplate template = new RestTemplate();
String url = "https://5ef99e4bbc5f8f0016c66d42.mockapi.io/testing/data";
ResponseEntity < JsonData[] > response = template.exchange(url, JsonData[].class);
for (JsonData jsonData: response.getBody()) {
System.out.println(jsonData.getName());
System.out.println(jsonData.getEmail());
}
}
}
I am trying to print json data that is array using rest template but I am getting error in this line "ResponseEntity < JsonData[] > response = template.exchange(url, JsonData[].class);" my error is "cannot resolve method" Can anyone tell me correct way of doing this .I am new to spring I do not have proper understanding it would be helpful if some one can give their suggeestion in this code

Answer 1

RestTemplate does not have any method with signature exchange(String, Class<T>).
That is why you are getting "cannot resolve method" error for template.exchange(url, JsonData[].class);.
Here is an example of correct usage of one of the methods from RestTemplate.exchange API:
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
ResponseEntity<JsonData[]> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, null, JsonData[].class);

Answer 2

RestTemplate also has another method - getForEntity that makes a GET call with the given URL and expected return type. (without need for passing null for not required fields)
RestTemplate template = new RestTemplate();
String url = "https://5ef99e4bbc5f8f0016c66d42.mockapi.io/testing/data";
ResponseEntity <JsonData[]> response = template.getForEntity(url, JsonData[].class);
