Webclient springboot posting values in map variable to an url using

I am a beginner in Springboot .I have some values in my map variable and I need to post it to an external url from Springboot app

/**   * Function to post data to external url   * @param extracted   * @return    */  private ResponseEntity<String> postData(Map<String, String> extracted) {        WebClient webClient = WebClient.create("third party base url");      String response =  webClient.post()              .uri("/thirdPartyEndPoint")                                   .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON )              .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)              .retrieve()              .body(extracted)              .block();      return new ResponseEntity<>(response, HttpStatus.OK);  }  

The variable extracted in the above code will be having data like

{  "Data 1": "1",  "Data 2": "0000000000000000000000000000",  "JSON Data": "{\"0\":{\"timeStamp\":\"Mon Jan 19 18:15:21 IST 1970\",\"value\":263.76},\"1\":{\"timeStamp\":\"Mon Jan 19 18:15:21 IST 1970\",\"value\":263.76},\"2\":{\"timeStamp\":\"Mon Jan 19 18:15:21 IST 1970\",\"value\":263.76},\"3\":{\"timeStamp\":\"Mon Jan 19 18:15:21 IST 1970\",\"value\":263.76}}",  "Data 3": "80725010",  }    The method body(Map<String,String>) is undefined for the type WebClient.ResponseSpec  

Can someone point me to how I can do this?The data should be posted as form data. Also how to post it without the escape characters?
