Unirest 4.x

[Yeikel]

What problem are you trying to solve?

Starting with Unirest 4.x, there were a couple of breaking changes that need manual intervention:

• The core Unirest package has been moved from kong.unirest to kong.unirest.core, this prevents classloader issues where Unirest 4 may conflict with previous versions which may also be on the classpath.
• Unirest no longer comes with GSON as a default JSON parser. In order to enable JSON support you must include either the GSON or Jackson JSON

What precondition(s) should be checked before applying this recipe?

• The project uses Unirest-java
• The project is using at least Java 11

Examples :

diff --git a/pom.xml b/pom.xml
index aa3b42f..ea24a72 100644
--- a/pom.xml
+++ b/pom.xml

Thanks for the suggestion @yeikel ; perhaps we should create a rewrite-unirest once someone starts this recipe implementation.
