JQuickCurl Library Simplifies Multipart File Uploads in Java Using curl Syntax
JQuickCurl is a Java library that lets developers send multipart HTTP file uploads using familiar curl -F flag syntax, eliminating the need to manually configure OkHttp or RestTemplate multipart bodies. The library interprets the @ symbol convention to distinguish file paths from plain text form fields, then builds the corresponding multipart request over OkHttp automatically. Developers can upload single or multiple files, mix files with form metadata, and inject dynamic file paths at runtime using variable substitution in annotated interface methods. The approach keeps HTTP implementation details out of service code by expressing upload logic as a standard curl command string in a Java annotation. The library's behavior was demonstrated against the httpbin echo endpoint, which confirmed correct multipart transmission by returning uploaded file data in its response.
