Package io.avaje.jsonb

Interface Jsonb

public interface Jsonb

Provides access to json adapters by type.

Initialise with defaults

   Jsonb jsonb = Jsonb.newBuilder().build();
 

Initialise with some configuration

   Jsonb jsonb = Jsonb.newBuilder()
     .serializeNulls(true)
     .serializeEmpty(true)
     .failOnUnknown(true)
     .build();
 

fromJson

Read json content from: String, byte[], Reader, InputStream, JsonReader

  JsonType<Customer> customerType = jsonb.type(Customer.class);

  Customer customer = customerType.fromJson(content);

 

toJson

Write json content to: String, byte[], Writer, OutputStream, JsonWriter

  JsonType<Customer> customerType = jsonb.type(Customer.class);

  String asJson = customerType.toJson(customer);

Method Details

newBuilder

static Jsonb.Builder newBuilder()

Create and return a new Jsonb.Builder to configure before building the Jsonb instance.

We can register JsonAdapter's to use for specific types before building and returning the Jsonb instance to use.

Note that JsonAdapter's that are generated are automatically registered via service loading so there is no need to explicitly register those generated JsonAdapters.

   Jsonb jsonb = Jsonb.newBuilder()
     .serializeNulls(true)
     .serializeEmpty(true)
     .failOnUnknown(true)
     .build();

 

type

<T> JsonType<T> type(Class<T> cls)

Return the JsonType used to read and write json for the given class.

type

<T> JsonType<T> type(Type type)

Return the JsonType used to read and write json for the given type.

adapter

<T> JsonAdapter<T> adapter(Class<T> cls)

Return the JsonAdapter used to read and write json for the given class.

adapter

<T> JsonAdapter<T> adapter(Type type)

Return the JsonAdapter used to read and write json for the given type.

reader

JsonReader reader(String json)

Return the JsonReader used to read the given json content.

reader

JsonReader reader(byte[] jsonBytes)

Return the JsonReader used to read the given json content in bytes.

reader

JsonReader reader(Reader reader)

Return the JsonReader used to read the json content from the given reader.

reader

JsonReader reader(InputStream inputStream)

Return the JsonReader used to read the json content from the given inputStream.

writer

JsonWriter writer(Writer writer)

Return the JsonWriter used to write json to the given writer.

writer

JsonWriter writer(OutputStream outputStream)

Return the JsonWriter used to write json to the given outputStream.

properties

PropertyNames properties(String... names)

Return the property names as PropertyNames.

Provides the option of optimising the writing of json for property names by having them already escaped and encoded rather than as plain strings.
