Interface JsonObject

All Superinterfaces:

JsonStructure, JsonValue, Map<String,JsonValue>

public interface JsonObject
extends JsonStructure, Map<String,JsonValue>

A JsonObject, e.g.

 {
     "name":"karl",
     "age":38,
     "address": {
         "street":"dummystreet"
         "housenumber":12
     }
 }
 

A JsonObject is always also a Map which uses the attribute names as key mapping to their JsonValues.
