Executing JSON in Selenium

Question

I need to know the easiest way to execute JSON in a selenium test. An example would be i want to POST { "UserId":"234234" } and test against what is returned. Currently using Advanced REST client chrome app to manually test. I've done a lot of searching on this topic but haven't come across any good examples.

This doesn't sound like it's best solved by selenium. With Selenium you would interact with the form to get that value to post, and handle the subsequent AJAX response / page refresh. If you wish to POST data you should look at a library that performs those types of operations across the wire.

If you are looking for a HTTP library, then Apache has a good one (Java based).
