I need to obtain a currency exchange rate from a rest API into my spring boot application and convert the JSON response to Java class. The API will give me the response as below:-

{
    "USD_INR": {
        "val": 71.884966
    }
}

The code is as shown below:

@RestController
public class MainController {

  @Autowired
  private RestTemplate restTemplate;

  @GetMapping("/hello")
  public float hello(){

     ExchangeRate exchangeRate = restTemplate.getForObject("https://free.currencyconverterapi.com/api/v6/convert?q=Source_Target&compact=y",ExchangeRate.class);
     return exchangeRate.getSource_Target().getVal();
  }
}

-

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class ExchangeRate {
Source_Target SourceTargetObject;

  public Source_Target getSource_Target() {
      return SourceTargetObject;
  }


  public void setSource_Target(Source_Target SourceTargetObject) {
      this.SourceTargetObject = SourceTargetObject;
  }
}


@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Source_Target {
private float val;

  public float getVal() {
    return val;
  }

  public void setVal(float val) {
    this.val = val;
  }
}

After executing the REST call, I am getting null exception. Nothing is returned. I am not able to figure out the issue here. Please help

You can use jsonscheme2pojo for generate java beans from json easily.

JSON:

{
"USD_INR": {
    "val": 71.884966
}

}

Corresponding Java bean :

Your ExchangeRate class should be:

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class ExchangeRate {
    @JsonProperty("USD_INR")
    Source_Target SourceTargetObject;

    public Source_Target getSource_Target() {
        return SourceTargetObject;
    }

    public void setSource_Target(Source_Target SourceTargetObject) {
        this.SourceTargetObject = SourceTargetObject;
    }

Then your Source_Target class should be:

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Source_Target {
    @JsonProperty("val")
    private float val;

    public float getVal() {
         return val;
    }

    public void setVal(float val) {
        this.val = val;
    }
}

Please beware of your class naming convention. I would rename Source_Target to SourceTarget to follow Java naming convention

You create a custom map:

public class ExchangeRate extends HashMap<String, ExchangeRateValue> implements Serializable {        
}

public class ExchangeRateValue implements Serializable {

    private float val;

    public float getVal() {
        return val;
    }

    public void setVal(float val) {
        this.val = val;
    }
}

And call it:

 ExchangeRate exchangeRate = restTemplate.getForObject("https://free.currencyconverterapi.com/api/v6/convert?q=Source_Target&compact=y", ExchangeRate.class);
 float data = exchangeRate.get("USD_INR").getVal();
