Class JSONCodec

java.lang.Object
aQute.lib.json.JSONCodec

public class JSONCodec extends Object
This is a simple JSON Coder and Encoder that uses the Java type system to convert data objects to JSON and JSON to (type safe) Java objects. The conversion is very much driven by classes and their public fields. Generic information, when present is taken into account.

Usage patterns to encode:
  JSONCoder codec = new JSONCodec(); // assert "1".equals(
 codec.enc().to().put(1).toString()); assert "[1,2,3]".equals(
 codec.enc().to().put(Arrays.asList(1,2,3).toString()); Map m = new HashMap();
 m.put("a", "A"); assert "{\"a\":\"A\"}".equals(
 codec.enc().to().put(m).toString()); static class D { public int a; } D d =
 new D(); d.a = 41; assert "{\"a\":41}".equals(
 codec.enc().to().put(d).toString());
 
It is possible to redirect the encoder to another output (default is a string). See Encoder.to(),Encoder.to(File), Encoder.to(OutputStream), Encoder.to(Appendable). To reset the string output call Encoder.to().

This Codec class can be used in a concurrent environment. The Decoders and Encoders, however, must only be used in a single thread.

Will now use hex for encoding byte arrays
