Using the JSONSerializer
JSONSerializer can transform any java object to JSON notation and back with a simple and clean interface, leveraging all the builders in JSONObject and JSONArray. To transform a java obect into JSON use
JSONSerializer.toJSON()
. To transform a valid JSON value (by JSON, I mean an Object implementing that interface), use
toJava()
. The last method is an instance method because the serializer needs special configuration to transform a JSON value to a bean class, array, List or DynaBean.
Working with arrays and collections
The simplest way to create a
JSONArray
from a java array or collection is through the static factory methods from
JSONArray
.
JSONArray.fromObject()
will inspect its parameter and call the correct factory or constructor.
Examples:
- boolean []?boolArray?= new boolean []{ true , false , true };
- JSONArray?jsonArray?=?JSONArray.fromObject(?boolArray?);
- System.out.println(?jsonArray?);
- //?prints?[true,false,true]
- List?list?= new ArrayList();
- list.add(? “first” );
- list.add(? “second” );
- JSONArray?jsonArray?=?JSONArray.fromObject(?list?);
- System.out.println(?jsonArray?);
- //?prints?["first","second"]
- JSONArray?jsonArray?=?JSONArray.fromObject( “['json','is','easy']“ );
- System.out.println(?jsonArray?);
- //?prints?["json","is","easy"]
Working with objects
From Beans & Maps to JSON
The simplest way to create a
JSONObject
from a bean or
Map
is through the static factory methods from
JSONObject
.
JSONObject.fromObject()
will inspect its parameter and call the correct factory or constructor.
Examples:
- Map?map?= new HashMap();
- map.put(? “name” , “json” );
- map.put(? “bool” ,?Boolean.TRUE?);
- map.put(? “int” , new Integer( 1 )?);
- map.put(? “arr” , new String[]{ “a” , “b” }?);
- map.put(? “func” , “function(i){?return?this.arr[i];?}” );
- JSONObject?json?=?JSONObject.fromObject(?map?);
- System.out.println(?jsonObject?);
- //?prints?["name":"json","bool":true,"int":1,"arr":["a","b"],”func”:function(i){?return?this.arr[i];?}]
- class MyBean{
- private String?name?= “json” ;
- private int pojoId?= 1 ;
- private char []?options?= new char []{ ‘a(chǎn)’ , ‘f’ };
- private String?func1?= “function(i){?return?this.options[i];?}” ;
- private JSONFunction?func2?= new JSONFunction( new String[]{ “i” }, “return?this.options[i];” );
- //?getters?&?setters
- …
- }
- JSONObject?jsonObject?=?JSONObject.fromObject(? new MyBean()?);
- System.out.println(?jsonObject?);
- /*?prints
- {”name”:”json”,”pojoId”:1,”options”:["a","f"],
- “func1″:function(i){?return?this.options[i];},
- “func2″:function(i){?return?this.options[i];}}
- */

From JSON to Beans
Json-lib can transform JSONObjects to either a DynaBean or an specific bean class. When using DynaBean all arrays are converted to Lists, when using an specific bean class the transformation will use type conversion if necessary on array properties.
Convert to DynaBean:
- String?json?= “{name=\”json\”,bool:true,int:1,double:2.2,func:function(a){?return?a;?},array:[1,2]}” ;
- JSONObject?jsonObject?=?JSONObject.fromObject(?json?);
- Object?bean?=?JSONObject.toBean(?jsonObject?);
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “name” ),?PropertyUtils.getProperty(?bean, “name” )?);
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “bool” ),?PropertyUtils.getProperty(?bean, “bool” )?);
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “int” ),?PropertyUtils.getProperty(?bean, “int” )?);
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “double” ),?PropertyUtils.getProperty(?bean, “double” )?);
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “func” ),?PropertyUtils.getProperty(?bean, “func” )?);
- List?expected?=?JSONArray.toList(?jsonObject.getJSONArray(? “array” )?);
- Assertions.assertListEquals(?expected,?(List)?PropertyUtils.getProperty(?bean,? “array” )?);
Convert to Bean:
- String?json?= “{bool:true,integer:1,string:\”json\”}” ;
- JSONObject?jsonObject?=?JSONObject.fromObject(?json?);
- BeanA?bean?=?(BeanA)?JSONObject.toBean(?jsonObject,?BeanA. class );
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “bool” ),?Boolean.valueOf(?bean.isBool()?)?);
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “integer” ), new Integer(?bean.getInteger()?)?);
- assertEquals(?jsonObject.get(? “string” ),?bean.getString()?);
There are two special cases when converting to an specific bean, if the target bean has a Map property and it must contain other beans,
JSONObject.toBean()
will transform the nested beans into DynaBeans. If you need those nested beans transformed into an specific class, you can either postprocess the Map attribute or provide hints on JSONObject’s attributes for conversion.
JSONObject.toBean()
may be passed a third argument, a Map, that will provide thos hints. Every key must be either the name of a property or a regular expression matching the object’s properties, and the value must be a
Class
.
The second case is similar and it happens when the target bean has a Collection (List) as a property and it must contain other beans. In this case there is no way to provide hints for class conversion. The only possible solution is to postprocess the collection transforming each DynaBean into an specific bean.
To ease the postprocessing scenarios, EZMorph provides a Morpher capable of transforming a DynaBean into an specific bean,
BeanMorpher
Example:
- class MyBean{
- private List?data;
- //?getters?&?setters
- }
- class Person{
- private String?name;
- //?getters?&?setters
- }
- …
- String?json?=? “{’data’:[{'name':'Wallace'},{'name':'Grommit'}]}” ;
- Map?classMap?=? new HashMap();
- classMap.put(? “data” ,?Person. class );
- MyBean?bean?=?JSONObject.toBean(?json,?MyBean. class ,?classMap?);
This yields a MyBean instance that has DynaBeans inside the ‘data’ attribute’, so now comes the part of postprocessing, this can be done with an Iterator Example:
- Morpher?dynaMorpher?= new BeanMorpher(?Person. class ,?JSONUtils.getMorpherRegistry()?);
- morpherRegistry.registerMorpher(?dynaMorpher?);
- List?output?=? new ArrayList();
- for (?Iterator?i?=?bean.getData().iterator();?i.hasNext();?){
- output.add(?morpherRegistry.morph(?Person. class ,?i.next()?)?);
- }
- bean.setData(?output?);
To learn more about Morphers, please visit EZMorph’s project site .
Working with XML
Working with XML has become easier since version 1.1. Transforming JSONObjects and JSONArrays from and to XML is done through the XMLSerializer.
From JSON to XML
Writing to JSON to XML is as simple as calling
XMLSerializer.write()
, but there are a lot of options that you may configure to get better control of the XML output. For example you may change the default names for the root element (’o’ if object, ‘a(chǎn)’ if array), the default name for object (an object inside an array is “anonymous”), the default name for array (for the same reason as object), the default name for element (array items have no name). If you’d like to output namescape information but your JSON does not includes it, no problem, you have 8 methods that will let you register and manage namespaces; namespaces defined this way have precedence on any namespace declaration that may be inside the JSON. By default XMLSerializer will append special attributes to each xml element for easing the transformation back to JSON but you may configure it to skip appending those attributes. Any property on a JSONObject that begins with ‘@’ will be treated as an attribute, any property named ‘#text’ will be treated as a Text node.
Please review the javadoc for XMLSerializer to know more about the configurable options.

From XML to JSON
XMLSerializer treats each element as a
string
unless a type parameter is specified. JSONFunction needs an additional parameter that specifies that function’s params. All xml attributes will have the prefix ‘@’ and text nodes will have the property name ‘#text’. XMLSerializer supports the rules outlined at
