    //For post request we have to create a external json file like we created and then create a File object to access that file.
     File jsonPostReq = new File("C:\\workspace\\RestAssuredProject\\students.json");
    //Then based on given and adding contentType ,adding header and logs  and then we add the file we created to the post request and then instead 
       // of get() this time we use post method --->post()    
    Response response = given().contentType(ContentType.JSON).header("X","Y").log().all().body(jsonPostReq).post();
         response.prettyPrint();
   }
