Using Context.bodyAsClass() method, we can map the request body to a Java object.
Example
EmployeeRequestDto employeeRequestDto = ctx.bodyAsClass(EmployeeRequestDto.class);
Find the below working application.
Step 1: Create new maven project ‘javalin-map-request-body-to-object’.
Step 2: Update pom.xml with maven dependencies.
pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

Step 3: Define JsonUtil class.
JsonUtil.java
package com.sample.app.util;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
public class JsonUtil {
public static String getJson(Object obj) throws JsonProcessingException {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
return mapper.writeValueAsString(obj);
}
}
Step 4: Define EmployeeRequestDto class.
EmployeeRequestDto.java
package com.sample.app.dto;
public class EmployeeRequestDto {
private String name;
private Integer age;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public Integer getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(Integer age) {
this.age = age;
}
}
Step 5: Define main application class.
App.java
package com.sample.app;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
import com.sample.app.dto.EmployeeRequestDto;
import com.sample.app.util.JsonUtil;
import io.javalin.Javalin;
import io.javalin.http.HttpStatus;
public class App {
private static AtomicInteger empIdCounter = new AtomicInteger(1);
public static void main(String[] args) {
Javalin javalin = Javalin.create();
javalin.get("/", (ctx) -> {
ctx.result("Welcome to Javalin programming!!!!");
});
javalin.post("/employees", (ctx) -> {
EmployeeRequestDto employeeRequestDto = ctx.bodyAsClass(EmployeeRequestDto.class);
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("id", empIdCounter.getAndIncrement());
map.put("name", employeeRequestDto.getName());
map.put("age", employeeRequestDto.getAge());
String respJson = JsonUtil.getJson(map);
ctx.res().setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
ctx.result(respJson).status(HttpStatus.CREATED);
});
javalin.start(8080);
}
}
Total project structure looks like below.
Build the project
Navigate to the folder, where pom.xml is located and execute the command ‘mvn package’.
Upon successful command execution, you can see a ‘javalin-map-request-body-to-object-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar’ file.
$ls ./target/
archive-tmp
classes
generated-sources
generated-test-sources
javalin-map-request-body-to-object-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
javalin-map-request-body-to-object-1.0.0.jar

Execute below command to run the application.
java -jar ./target/javalin-map-request-body-to-object-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
$java -jar ./target/javalin-map-request-body-to-object-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
