Parsing a JSON without duplicate keys means converting a JSON string into a Java object. But we need to keep in mind that the JSON string should not have duplicate keys. Gson: Parsing a JSON Without Duplicate Keys We can use the Gson library to parse a JSON without duplicate keys in Java. It is developed by Google and used for converting Java objects into JSON and vice versa. By default, Gson does not allow duplicate keys in JSON. If a JSON string has duplicate keys, Gson will throw a JsonSyntaxException. We will use the methods fromJson() and toJson() to achieve ... Read More
JSON is a format for storing and exchanging data. It is easily readable and also easy to parse. Creating JSON Using Java JsonGenerator In Java, we can create a JSON object using the JsonGenerator class. JsonGenerator is class in the javax.json.stream package that is used to create JSON data. It provides methods to write JSON objects, arrays, and values. To use the JsonGenerator class, we need to add the javax.json library to our project. If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file: javax.json javax.json-api 1.1.4 If you are not using Maven, you can download ... Read More
To create a JSON using the Jackson Tree Model in Java, we can use the ObjectMapper class. The ObjectMapper class is part of the Jackson library and is used to convert Java objects to JSON and vice versa. To use the Jackson library, we need to add it to our project. If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file: com.fasterxml.jackson.core jackson-databind 2.13.0 If you are not using Maven, you can download the jar file from here. Creating a JSON using Jackson Tree Model in ... Read More
Enabling version support means that the Gson library will be able to handle multiple versions of the same class. We use this when we have a class that has been modified and we want to be able to deserialize JSON data that was created using an older version of the class. Enabling Versioning Support in Java Gson Library The Gson library provides a simple versioning system for the Java objects that it reads and writes, and also provides an annotation named @Since for the versioning concept @Since(versionnumber). We can create a Gson instance with versioning using the GsonBuilder().setVersion() method. If ... Read More
What is a Palindrome? A palindrome is a number, string or any data value, which reads the same from backwards. i.e. If we reverse a value and compare it with its original value, the result should be true. For example, strings like "ABA", "RADAR", "BABAB" and numbers like 121, 12321 are palindromes. Checking for Palindrome Using Java Program One way to verify if a string, number or, an alphanumeric value is a palindrome is by reversing the given it. Following are the steps - Get the value to be verified. Reverse the contents of the given value. Compare ... Read More
Priority Queue is a special type of queue in which elements can be accessed based on their priority. In this article, we will learn how to use the priority_queue container from the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++. What is Priority Queue? A Priority Queue is a container that stores data in such a way that the highest (or the lowest) priority element will always at the front of queue. Meaning, a priority queue does not follow FIFO rule of a regular queue, it processes elements based on ceratin priority. This priority can be defined as highest elements at ... Read More
Set is an associative container that stores unique elements in a sorted order. In this article, we will learn how to use the set container from the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++. What is Set? A Set is a container that stores data in a sorted order without any duplicates. Meaning, the duplicate values are automatically eliminated, and the elements are kept in ascending order by default. The STL library of C++ provides a pre-defined set container that uses a balanced binary search tree for storage. For example, in the code we have shown how data are ... Read More
The Set Difference is an operation used to find all elements present in the first set but not in the second. In this article, we will learn how to use the set_difference algorithm from the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++ to find the difference of two sets. What is Set Difference? The set difference is an arithmetic operation performed between two sets to find all elements present in the first set but not in the second. In C++, we have set_difference which is a built-in algorithm provided by C++ STL that computes the set difference of two sorted ... Read More
The Set Intersection is an operation used to find all elements that are common in both sets. In this article, we will learn how to use the set_intersection algorithm from the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++ to find the intersection of two sets. What is Set Intersection? The set intersection is an arithmetic operation performed between two sets to find all elements that are common in both sets. In C++, we have set_intersection which is a built-in algorithm provided by C++ STL that computes the intersection of two sorted ranges of sets. That is, it returns the elements ... Read More
The Set Symmetric Difference is an operation used to find all elements that are present in either of the sets but not in both. In this article, we will learn how to use the set_symmetric_difference algorithm from the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++ to find the symmetric difference of two sets. What is Set Symmetric Difference? The set symmetric difference is an arithmetic operation performed between two sets to find all elements that are present in either of the sets but not in both. In C++, we have set_symmetric_difference(), which is a built-in function provided by C++ STL ... Read More
