2. Change $('#text').val() to your input string.
3. Change // PROCESS YOUR DATA HERE to use the JSON.

    function fetchJSON() {
      $('#result').html('');
      const json = JSON.stringify({ text: $('#text').val() });
      console.log(json);
      fetch("http://localhost:8081", {method:'POST', headers:{
          'content-type': 'application/json',
          'Content-Length': json.length
        },
        'body': json
      })
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(data => {
             console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
             // PROCESS YOUR DATA HERE
        })
        .catch(error => console.error(error));
    }
