Convert JSON to/from Map using Jackson library in Java?
The JSON Jackson is a library for Java and it has very powerful data binding capabilities and provides a framework to serialize custom java objects to JSON and deserialize JSON back to Java object. We can convert JSON to/from Map using readValue() and writeValueAsString() methods of com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper class.
JSON to Map
Syntax
public <T> T readValue(String content, TypeReference valueTypeRef) throws IOException, JsonParseException, JsonMappingException
Example
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference;
public class ConvertJSONToMapTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String jsonString = "{\"Name\":\"Raja\", \"Technology\":\"Java\"}";
Map<String, Object> jsonMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
jsonMap = mapper.readValue(jsonString, new TypeReference<Map<String, String>>(){}); // converts JSON to Map
System.out.println(jsonMap);
} catch(IOException ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
}
}
}Output
{Name=Raja, Technology=Java}Map to JSON
Syntax
public String writeValueAsString(Object value) throws JsonProcessingException
Example
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.*;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
public class ConvertMapToJSONTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String jsonString = "";
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
map.put("Raja", "Java Technology");
map.put("Ravi", "Python Technology");
map.put("Adithya", "Spark Technology");
map.put("Vamsi", "Web Technology");
jsonString = mapper.writeValueAsString(map); // converts Map to JSON
System.out.println(map);
}
}Output
{"Raja":"Java Technology", "Vamsi":"Web Technology", "Ravi":"Python Technology", "Adithya":"Spark Technology"}
