How to wrap a JSON using flexjson in Java?
The Flexjson library is a lightweight Java library for serializing and de-serializing java beans, maps, arrays, and collections in a JSON format. A JSONSerializer is the main class for performing serialization of Java objects to JSON and by default performs a shallow serialization. We can wrap a JSON object using the rootName() method of JSONSerializer class, this method wraps the resulting JSON in a javascript object that contains a single field named rootName.Syntaxpublic JSONSerializer rootName(String rootName)Exampleimport flexjson.JSONSerializer; public class JSONRootNameTest { public static void main(String[] args) { JSONSerializer serializer = new ...
Read MoreHow can we serialize a list of objects using flexjson in Java?
The Flexjson is a lightweight library for serializing and deserializing Java objects into and from JSON format. We can serialize a list of objects using the serialize() method of JSONSerializer class. This method can perform a shallow serialization of the target instance. We need to pass a list of objects of List type as an argument to the serialize() method.Syntaxpublic String serialize(Object target)Exampleimport flexjson.JSONSerializer; import java.util.*; public class JsonSerializeListTest { public static void main(String[] args) { JSONSerializer serializer = new JSONSerializer().prettyPrint(true); // pretty print JSON ...
Read MoreWhen can we call @JsonAnyGetter and @JsonAnySetter annotations in Java?
The @JsonAnyGetter annotation enables to use a Map as a container for properties that we want to serialize to JSON and @JsonAnySetter annotation instructs Jackson to call the same setter method for all unrecognized fields in the JSON object, which means that all fields that are not already mapped to a property or setter method in the Java object.Syntaxpublic @interface JsonAnyGetter public @interface JsonAnyGetterExampleimport java.io.*; import java.util.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.*; public class JsonAnyGetterAndJsonAnySetterTest { public static void main(String args[]) throws JsonGenerationException, JsonMappingException, IOException { Employee emp1 = new ...
Read MoreConvert CSV to JSON using the Jackson library in Java?
A Jackson is a Java JSON API that provides several different ways to work with JSON. We can convert CSV data to JSON data using the CsvMapper class, it is specialized ObjectMapper, with extended functionality to produce CsvSchema instances out of POJOs. We can use the reader() method for constructing ObjectReader with default settings. In order to convert this, we need to import the com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.csv package.In the below example, convert a CSV to JSON.Exampleimport java.io.*; import java.util.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.csv.*; public class CsvToJsonTest { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { ...
Read MoreHow to deserialize a JSON array to list generic type in Java?
The Gson library provides a class called com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken to store generic types by creating a Gson TypeToken class and pass the class type. Using this type, Gson can able to know the class passed in the generic class.Syntaxpublic class TypeToken extends ObjectWe can deserialize a JSON array to a generic type of list in the below exampleExampleimport java.lang.reflect.Type; import java.util.*; import com.google.gson.*; import com.google.gson.reflect.*; public class JSONArrayToListTest { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { String jsonStr = "[{"name":"Adithya", "course":"Java"}, " + "{"name":"Ravi", "course":"Python"}]"; ...
Read MoreHow can we decode a JSON object in Java?
A JSON is a lightweight, text-based and language-independent data exchange format. A JSON can represent two structured types like objects and arrays. We can decode a JSON object using JSONObject and JSONArray from json.simple API. A JSONObject works as a java.util.Map whereas JSONArray works as a java.util.List.In the below example, we can decode a JSON object.Exampleimport org.json.simple.*; import org.json.simple.parser.*; public class JSONDecodingTest { public static void main(String[] args) { JSONParser parser = new JSONParser(); String str = "[ 0 , {"1" : { "2" : ...
Read MoreHow can we encode a JSON object in Java?
A JSONObject is a subclass of java.util.HashMap where no order is provided. We can also use the strict ordering of elements as well with the help of the JSONValue.toJSONString(map) method i.e. by the implementation of java.util.LinkedHashMap.We can encode a JSON object in the below two examples.Example import java.util.*; import org.json.simple.JSONObject; public class JSONEncodingTest { public static void main(String[] args) { Map dataMap = new HashMap(); dataMap.put("Name", "Adithya"); dataMap.put("Age", new Integer(25)); dataMap.put("Salary", new Double(25000.00)); dataMap.put("Employee Id", new Integer(115)); dataMap.put("Company", "TutorialsPoint"); JSONObject ...
Read MoreHow can we convert a map to the JSON object in Java?
The JSON is a lightweight, text-based and language-independent data exchange format. The JSON can represent two structured types like objects and arrays. An object is an unordered collection of key/value pairs and an array is an ordered sequence of values. We can convert a Map to JSON object using the toJSONString() method(static) of org.json.simple.JSONValue. It has two important static methods: writeJSONString() method to encode an object into JSON text and write it out, escape() method to escape the special characters and escape quotes, \, /, \r, , \b, \f, \t.Exampleimport java.util.*; import org.json.simple.JSONValue; public class ConvertMapJSONTest { ...
Read MoreHow can we add a JSONArray to JSONObject in Java?
The JSON is a text-based format for exchanging data. It is a lightweight component and language independent. We can also add a JSONArray to JSONObject. We need to add a few items to an ArrayList first and pass this list to the put() method of JSONArray class and finally add this array to JSONObject using the put() method. Exampleimport org.json.*; import java.util.*; public class AddJSONArrayToJSONObjTest { public static void main(String args[]) { List list = new ArrayList(); list.add("Raja"); list.add("Jai"); ...
Read MoreHow can we write JSON objects to a file in Java?
The JSON is one of the widely used data-interchange formats and is a lightweight and language independent. The json.simple is a lightweight JSON processing library that can be used to write JSON files and it can be used to encode or decode JSON text and fully compliant with JSON specification(RFC4627). In order to read a JSON file, we need to download the json-simple.jar file and set the path to execute it.Exampleimport java.io.*; import java.util.*; import org.json.simple.*; import org.json.simple.parser.*; public class JSONObjectWriterToFileTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { JSONObject ...
