package org.fool.jackson;

import java.util.List;

import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringStyle;

public class User
{
	private String name;
	private int age;
	private List<String> msgs;

	public User()
	{
	}

	public User(String name, int age, List<String> msgs)

4.Java Object To Json

Convert an “user” object into JSON formatted string, and save it into a file “user.json“.

package org.fool.jackson;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

public class JavaObjectToJson
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		List<String> msgs = new ArrayList<>();
		msgs.add("msg1");
		msgs.add("msg2");
		msgs.add("msg3");

		User user = new User("Hero", 30, msgs);

		ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

		try
		{
			// convert user object to json string, and save to a file
			mapper.writeValue(new File("user.json"), user);

			// display to console
			System.out.println(mapper.writeValueAsString(user));

			// this is Jackson 1.x API only
			// System.out.println(mapper.defaultPrettyPrintingWriter()
			// 		.writeValueAsString(user));
			
			// for Jackson 2.x use the line below instead of the one
			System.out.println(mapper.writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter()
					.writeValueAsString(user));
		}
		catch (JsonGenerationException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		catch (JsonMappingException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		catch (JsonProcessingException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		catch (IOException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

结果 — JavaObjectToJson

从图中可以看出，下面的JSON格式输出更加pretty，但是Jackson1.x和Jackson2.x的Pretty Print的API是不一样的

Jackson 1.x的Pretty Print 采用如下格式

System.out.println(mapper.defaultPrettyPrintingWriter().writeValueAsString(user));

Jackson 2.x的Pretty Print 采用如下格式 

System.out.println(mapper.writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(user));

我这里由于使用的是Jackson 2.x的API，所以采用下面一种方法。 

 

5.Json To Java Object

Read JSON string from file “user.json“, and convert it back to Java object.

package org.fool.jackson;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

public class JsonToJavaObject
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
		
		try
		{
			// read from file, convert it to user class
			User user = mapper.readValue(new File("user.json"), User.class);
			
			// display to console
			System.out.println(user);
		}
		catch (JsonParseException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		catch (JsonMappingException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		catch (IOException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

结果 — JsonToJavaObject
