JarCastingmechanize for java
mechanize is a stateful HTTP web services client library (RESTful) with support for HTML, JSON, and XML services. Because mechanize is stateful and allow inspection of web resources, it naturally support GET-then-POST semantics and helps avoid hard-coding clients.

====== Releases:
- 1.x is the original port of mechanize to java. This will be maintained for bug fixes and possibly other enhancements.
- 2.x is the modularized version to separate HTML, JSON, and XML into separate a la carte packages. Also the JSON linking dev will be here.

Here is a testcase showing mechanize at work with HTML:
@Test public void testGooglePageSearchForm() {
MechanizeAgent agent = new MechanizeAgent();
Document page = agent.get("http://www.google.com");
Form form = page.form("f");
form.get("q").set("mechanize java");
Resource response = form.submit();
assertTrue(response.getTitle().startsWith("mechanize java"));
}
Here is a testcase showing mechanize using a Google JSON web service:
@Test
public void testGoogleApi() throws JSONException {
MechanizeAgent agent = new MechanizeAgent();
JsonDocument json = agent.doRequest(googleUrl).add("shortUrl", shortUrl).add("projection", "FULL").get();
assertEquals(longUrl, json.getRoot().find("longUrl").getValue());
String value = json.getRoot().find("analytics month countries#US count").getValue();
assertTrue(value, Integer.valueOf(value)>=1);
}
