Why not just use open cmis api ? Using open cmis api you don't need to care aboud binding details .

In our Project there is a requirement that instead of making a call to JAVA APIs they want to make a call to RESTful APIs. That is the reason I am looking for something for an example for CMIS service for creating a document in JSON

CMIS Browser binding is used by a browser client to interact with cmis repository using html form to perform operations.
So all you have to do is create send a html multipart form-data request to browser binding url.

For example if you want to create a document with content.


<form 
  // action link depends on which operation wish to perform
  action="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser/folder1/object"
  method="POST"
  enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <input name="cmisaction" type="hidden" value="createDocument" />
  // for each cmis object type property, create 2 corresponding input texts field mapped to that properties value
 <input name="propertyId[0]" type="hidden" value="cmis:name" />
 <input name="propertyValue[0]" type="text" value="my document" />
 <input name="propertyId[1]" type="hidden" value="cmis:objectTypeId" />
 <input name="propertyValue[1]" type="hidden" value="my:firstObjectType" />
 <input name="propertyId[2]" type="hidden" value="my:intProperty" />
 <input name="propertyValue[2]" type="text" value="42" />

  // for content stream
  <input name="content" type="file" />
</form>
