Send JSON and consume reply in a Grails Service?

[marcopas]

I have a need to send a JSON request to a system and read the response
on that request (as JSON).
I was wondering if that can be done using a service? I read some posts
on using the HTTPBuilder in the service for that but i am not sure if
that is the correct way?

Any hints?

I've used HTTPBuilder (via the rest plugin) to do this sort of thing
before, and it worked very well.

HttpClient is part of grails. You can use it to make the call.

You could use grails's JSON conversion mechanism to convert to JSON.

Although, I would recommend Jackson as it does I think a bit better
job on formatting.
