Akka HTTP client akka-http akka-http-jackson

Question

I am trying to make an actor calls a simple GET on rest service. For that I'm using akka-http-experimental_2.11, and akka-http-jackson-experimental_2.11. Try as I might I couldn't find a comprehensible java example. The call is to be made async and the response mapped to a POJO.

Can you please help? I'm lost between Sinks, Flows and CompletionStage<HttpResponse>s.

Thank you java hAkkers :)

Did you have a look at the docs?

Relevant links:

• The HTTP client - http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4/java/http/client-side/request-level.html#request-level-api-java
• Akka Streams, which it is probably a good idea to at least have a basic understanding of to use Akka HTTP - http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4/java/stream/index.html
