Question

I want to send a request as JSON and in my controller I want to parse this JSON and get the parameters I want. for example this is the request:

{"param1":"val1"}

I want to parse this request and get “param1” value. I used request.JSON but still I got null. Is there any other way to solve this?

Thanks,

Set it in your UrlMappings like this:

static mappings = {
    "/rest/myAction" (controller: "myController", action: "myAction", parseRequest: true)
}

Search for parseRequest in latest Grails guide.

Then validate if it works correctly with curl:

curl --data '{"param1":"value1"}' --header "Content-Type: application/json" http://yourhost:8080/rest/myAction
