Are you asking how to POST a file, or how to parse the result? – Thilo Oct 22 '15 at 06:28

In that link they are passing data as parameter .I want to pass a json file itself...like data.json... not the json content – Athul Oct 22 '15 at 06:33

How about this one then: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7173621/14955 (but seems to be similar to what you are using now) – Thilo Oct 22 '15 at 06:36

curl can be used to send multiple types of content but the default of all being the application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you need to send a file through the same , you need to put that in the header, and for putting a file you need to specify -d param for the same.
a sample use of the same can be as :
$ curl -vX POST http://<servername>/<api>/v1/<jsonfilename.json> -d @<file.json> \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"

ok. If we passed like this there should be a POST method to handle this call. what will be the signature of that? – Athul Oct 22 '15 at 08:29
