RestEasy: Is it possible to use JSON Input format for GET request?

I want to use JSON as input and output format for the API's.

I am able to create webservices with HTTP POST method and Input format as JSON, but I am not able to do the same with HTTP GET request.

So, is it even possible to use JSON Input format for GET request ?

Typically a GET request is used to retrieve a resource, it's not used to create or update it. That means you typically don't have to send a lot of parameters. In most cases you will send only an id as part of the URL (something like: https://myAPI.com/products/123 to retrieve product with id 123 for example) RestEasy allows you to read parts of the URL using @PathVariable.
