如何以JSON格式从Sonatype Nexus REST API获取结果

Question

I'm using Sonatype Nexus REST core api to get repositories.

The output format is XML. How can I get the output in JSON format?

I can see in the docs that the return type can be application/json . But I am completely in blank where to set this.

As an example with curl here is a call to get the list of repositories

curl http://localhost:8081/nexus/service/local/repositories

which will give you xml formatted output. To get the same in JSON format you just edit the HTTP header of the request like so

curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8081/nexus/service/local/repositories

Potentially you want to add credentials and specify the content type as well (especially if you are posting JSON load as part of the request). You can also change to a POST..

curl -X GET -u admin:admin123 -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8081/nexus/service/local/repositories
