How to serialize a map using the flexjson library in Java?
Serializing a Map in Java is the process of converting a Map object into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted, such as JSON or XML. We will use the Flexjson library to serialize a map in Java. We can serialize a Map using the serialize() method of the JSONSerializer class, which performs a shallow serialization of the target instance. Example of Serializing a Map We will take a map and see the output after serialization. Map map = new HashMap(); map.put("name", "Ansh"); map.put("age", "23"); map.put("city", "Mumbai"); map.put("country", "India"); After serialization, the map will look like this: {"name":"Ansh", ...
Read MoreHow to parse a JSON without duplicate keys using Gson in Java?
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 MoreHow can we create a JSON using JsonGenerator in Java?
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 MoreJava program to check palindrome
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 MoreCustom instance creator using Gson in Java?
While parsing a JSON String to or from a Java object, by default, Gson tries to create an instance of the Java class by calling the default constructor. In the case of Java, if a class doesn’t contain a default constructor or we want to do some initial configuration while creating Java objects, we need to create and register our own instance creator. Custom Instance Creator Using Gson Custom instance means creating a new instance that is not the default. In this instance, we can add whatever properties we want. There are many libraries that create custom instances. In this ...
Read MoreHow to deserialize a JSON to Java object using the flexjson in Java?
Deserializing a JSON to a Java object means converting a JSON string into a Java object.The deserialize() Method of the Flexjson Library We will be using the Flexjson library to deserialize a JSON to a Java object in Java. The Flexjson library is a lightweight library that is used for serializing as well as deserializing Java objects to and from JSON. A JSONDeserializer is the main class for performing deserialization of JSON to Java objects. We can deserialize a JSON string to a Java object using the deserialize(String json, Class type) method of JSONDeserializer. Syntax of deserialize() Method The syntax of the ...
Read MoreHow to ignore the null and empty fields using the Jackson library in Java?
The Jackson is a library for Java and it has very powerful data binding capabilities and it also provides a framework to serialize custom java objects to JSON and deserialize JSON back to Java object. Ignoring Null and Empty Fields Using Jackson The Jackson library provides @JsonInclude annotation, which controls the serialization of a class as a whole or its individual fields based on their values during serialization. The @JsonInclude annotation contains below two values: Include.NON_NULL: Indicates that only properties with not null values will be included in JSON. Include.NON_EMPTY: Indicates ...
Read MoreHow can we change a field name in JSON using Jackson in Java?
When we have a JSON object and want to change a specific field name for some reason, we can use the Jackson library in Java.The Jackson Annotation @JsonProperty The Jackson Annotation @JsonProperty is used on a property or method during the serialization or deserialization of JSON. It takes an optional 'name' parameter, which is useful in case the property name is different from the key name in JSON. By default, if the key name matches the property name, the value is mapped to the property value. If the key name is different, we can use the @JsonProperty annotation to ...
Read MoreHow to exclude a field from JSON using @Expose annotation in Java?
Sometimes we need to exclude certain fields from the JSON output. For example, if we have a field that contains sensitive information, we may not want to include it in the JSON representation of the object. In such cases, we can use the Expose annotation provided by Gson. The Gson @Expose annotation The Gson @Expose annotation can be used to specify whether a field isto be exposed or not (included or not). The @Expose annotation can take two parameters, and each parameter is a boolean which can take either the value true or false. The two parameters are: ...
Read MoreConvert an Iterator to a List in Java
An Iterator is used for cycling through a Collection of objects. Whereas a List is an Interface which is used for storing an ordered collection of elements. Both classes are part of the Java Collections Framework.Converting an Iterator to a List in Java Sometimes we need to convert an Iterator to a collection. In this article, we will learn how to convert an Iterator to a List in Java using multiple ways. Those are: Using a while loop Using Iterator.forEachRemaining() Using Stream API Let's understand each of them in ...
