when using this java api i still need to use the untyped model correct ? i.e. string
based invocations or
is it more typed ?
Yes it's detyped, but it still has a fluid API that manages the
structure and will auto-convert types for you:

Although, this could also be done with a good JSON library.
One last small benefit is that the java api will let you excute the
deployment operation with a stream on the same request. Http will
require a standard mime multipart request to do the upload.
