In this use case, the HTL component contains a class that extends WCMUsePojo. This class uses Java application logic to send a HTTP Request to a third-party Restful web service. The web service returns the following data in JSON format.
{
"destination_addresses":[
"Dallas, TX, USA"
],
"origin_addresses":[
"Ottawa, ON, Canada"
],
"rows":[
{
"elements":[
{
"distance":{
"text":"2,714 km",
"value":2713758
},
"duration":{
"text":"1 day 1 hour",
"value":89044
},
"status":"OK"
}
]
}
],
"status":"OK"
}
The HTL component uses the Java library GSON to parse the JSON data and then displays the data in the client so it appears in the AEM web page.
