使用 Java POJO 为休息服务创建条件 JSON 响应

Question

I am creating a rest service and providing json to our consumer. I have two fields cardType, cardDetails ( i have more fields but these are what relevant).

If cardType is credit card then only I want to send another field cardDetails in json.

If cardtype is something else, Then I don't want to send card details(not even empty data) . I am not getting how can i achieve solution for this.

Which language do you use? In spring framework you can do it very easy. You can add if condition in your controller.

    @RestController
public class YourController {
    @Autowired
    YourRepository yourRepository;

    @RequestMapping("/creaditCardsInfo")
    public String sendCreditCardToCustomer(@RequestParam(value = "creditCardType", defaultValue = "none") String cardType,@RequestParam(value = "cardDetails", default = "someInfo") String cardDetails) {
if("credit".equals(cardType.trim()) && !(cardDetails.isEmpty())){
return new RequredCreditInfoObject(); 
}

if you use maven your pom.xml should contain required libs
