How EPIC and STORY connected

[Suman Jha]

I am making Integration between JIRA and Java based application.

Problem,

I am trying to find how EPIC-->Story is conned. When I am using REST API to find how they both are connected.

My Java Application is sending EPIC-->Story, but I am not able to connect in JIRA side, but I don't know how they are connected.

Any code will be great helpful

I am using below code.

Created an Epic using the below jason -
{"fields":{"project":{"key": "TEST"},"customfield_10401": "Epic Name 01","summary": "REST EXAMPLE1","description": "Creating an Epic via REST","issuetype": {"name": "Epic"}}}

Created a Story using the below jason -  
{"fields":{"project":{"key": "TEST"},"summary": "Story01","description": "Create a Story via REST","issuetype": {"name": "Story"}}} 

What is the jason to associate the above Epic and Story?  or What is the jason to create a new Story which will create story as well as associate the same with Epic, created above, in green?

It's the Epic Link field on the stories, coupled with the Epic Name field on the Epic.
