I have a student.json and Student.java as follows:
public class Student {
private String name;
private String age;
}
[{"name": "John", "age": 18}, {"name": "Alex"}]
I read the json file and map to List<Student> as follows:
File inRulesFile = (new ClassPathResource("Student.json")).getFile();
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
List<Student> students = Arrays.asList(mapper.readValue(inRulesFile, Student[].class));
So the output is [{John - 18},{Alex - null}]
I don't want DE-serialize null value. How can I do this?

I have a JSON structured like:
{
"id" : "123",
"name" : [ {
"id" : "234",
"stuff" : [ {
"id" : "345",
"name" : "Bob"
}, {
"id" : "456",
"name" : "Sally"
} ]
} ]
}
I want to map to the following data structure:
Class01
#Getter
public class Class01{
private String id;
#JsonDeserialize(using = Class01HashMapDeserialize.class)
private ArrayList<Class02> name;
}
Class02
#Getter
public class Class02{
private String id;
private ArrayList<Class03> stuff;
}
Class03
#Getter
public class Class03{
private String id;
private String name;
}
In my main Method im using an ObjectMapper with objectMapper.readValue(jsonString,new TypeReference<ArrayList<Class02>>(){}) to map this JSON to my Class01. This Class successfully deserealizes the Class02-array into the name array.
When it comes to the second array I don't know how to further deserialize as I am not able to access the json text from the class02 stuff entry.
#Override
public ArrayList<Class02> deserialize(JsonParser parser, DeserializationContext ctxt) throws IOException {
ArrayList<Class02> ret = new ArrayList<Class02>();
ObjectCodec codec = parser.getCodec();
TreeNode classes02 = codec.readTree(parser);
if (classes02.isArray()) {
for (JsonNode class02 : (ArrayNode) classes02) {
if(classe02.get("stuff").isArray()){
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
ArrayList<Class03> classes03 = objectMapper.readValue(class02.get("stuff").asText(), new TypeReference<ArrayList<Class03>>(){});
}
ret.add(new Class02(class02.get("id").asText(), classes03));
}
}
return ret;
}
Why did you put a #JsonDeserialize annotation ? Jackson shall be able to deserialize it just fine without any custom mapping:
#Getter
public class Class01{
private String id;
private ArrayList<Class02> name;
}
Also in a first pass, I would generate the getters/setters/constructor manually for the 3 classes. There may be issues with Lombok & Jackson that you may want to solve later once you made the first version of the code works (Can't make Jackson and Lombok work together)
And your reader shall be more like:
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
String text = ... //Your JSon
Class01 class01 = objectMapper.readValue(text, Class01.class)
I have written some code which saves the contents of a List<Class> to a JSON file, which looks kinda like this:
{ "firstName": "Name", "lastName": "LastName", "Email": "Email" } { "firstName": "Name2", "lastName": "LastName2", "Email": "Email2" }
Now I'm trying to input this file into my program, which works but only the first JSON Object is being returned. This is my code:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode readFile = mapper.readTree(new File("path/to/file.json"));
How can I read the full JSON file and how can I add the contents of it to the same List mentioned above?
Every tutorial etc. I stumble upon only explains this using a single object.
Thank you!
You can do this:
Create a user class like this:
public class User {
private String email;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
// Setters and getters
}
Now you can do this:
String json = yourJson;
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
User[] userArray = mapper.readValue(json, User[].class);
List<User> userList = Arrays.asList(mapper.readValue(json, User[].class));
I've the following JSON from some upstream api
{
"Id": "",
"Name": "",
"Age": ""
}
And I need to map this above json to a downstream request paylaod (POJO) .
public class Employee
{
#JsonProperty("Id")
private Integer Id;
private User user;
}
public class User {
#JsonProperty("Name")
private String name;
#JsonProperty("Age")
private String age;
}
Right now I'm doing something like
Employee employee = new ObjectMapper().treeToValue(JsonNode node,Employee.class);
But this is giving null in User Object.
The challenge here is , that the json we are getting from upstream can't be changed . So , is there is any way to map the fields into the nested User object , without changing the structure of json received from upstream.
One Solution is : map the fields separately into User object and then set it into the Employee object . But that's not an efficient solution , because for null validations we would need to do validations separately for User and Employee objects. If the nesting is complex then , validation will be hell of replicated code .
Your JSON does not comply with your Employee class.
Because name and age is at the same level as id, but you want to wrapped in a class User.
So either:
Change the json the structure to
{
"id": "",
"user": {
"name": "",
"age": ""
}
}
Or
Unwrap the User class, the Employee class will be:
public class Employee
{
#JsonProperty("Id")
private Integer Id;
#JsonProperty("Name")
private String name;
#JsonProperty("Age")
private String age;
}
Edit
If you can't choose either option 1 or 2, you have only one option left is to create custom deserializer:
Write a deserializer:
public class EmployeeDeserializer extends StdDeserializer<Item> {
public EmployeeDeserializer() {
this(null);
}
public EmployeeDeserializer(Class<?> vc) {
super(vc);
}
#Override
public Employee deserialize(JsonParser jp, DeserializationContext ctxt)
throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
JsonNode node = jp.getCodec().readTree(jp);
int id = (Integer) ((IntNode) node.get("Id")).numberValue();
String name = node.get("Name").asText();
String age = node.get("Age")).asText();
User user = new User(name, age);
return new Employee(id, user);
}
}
Then register this deserializer:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
SimpleModule module = new SimpleModule();
module.addDeserializer(Employee.class, new EmployeeDeserializer());
mapper.registerModule(module);
Employee readValue = mapper.readValue(json, Employee.class);
Another way to register deserializer is:
#JsonDeserialize(using = EmployeeDeserializer.class)
public class Employee {
It seems you are not nesting your JSON correctly. Or your Object Structure is wrong.
JSON should be:
{
"Id": "",
"user" : {
"Name": "",
"Age": ""
}
}
The json structure does not match the structure of your classes.
if the json was like;
{
"Id": "an-id,
"user": {
"Name": "Joe",
"Age": "21"
}
}
Then your code to deserialise to an Employee object would work.
I intend to create a JSON Array with the following structure. The metadata tag is going to constant in all the entries. I am stumped.
[{
"metadata": {
"Value": "String"
},
"name": "String",
"id": "String"
},
{
"metadata": {
"Value": "String"
},
"name": "String",
"id": "String"
}
]
public class yourJsonObject {
private Map<String, String> metadata;
private String name;
private string id;
public yourJsonObject() {
}
public Map<String, String> getMetadata(){
return metadata;
}
public void setMetadata(Map<String, String> metadata){
this.metadata = metadata;
}
public String getName(){
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getId(){
return id;
}
public void setId(String id){
this.id = id;
}
}
Then somewhere else you can just do this:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // create once, reuse
yourJsonObject example = new yourJsonObject(); // have your POJO you want to save
mapper.writeValue(new File("result.json"), example);
To read you can just use:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // create once, reuse
yourJsonObject value = mapper.readValue(new File("data.json"), yourJsonObject .class);
Both snippets are taken from my linked wiki article from jackson themselves.
Jackson should automatically be able to parse this POJO to an equivalent JSON if configured correctly.
Note: Jackson has to be globally registered and has to know about it. Please read the wiki of what you use to know about it... Jackson in 5 Minutes
Else you could just manually build the JSON like Neeraj said.
JSONArray array = new JSONArray(); // Create JSONArray Object
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(); // Your JSONObject which gets added into array
jsonObject.put("metadata",new MetaDataCustomClass("SomeRandomStringValue"));
jsonObject.put("name", "Neeraj");
jsonObject.put("id", "123");
array.add(jsonObject); // Here you push the jsonObject into Array.
Note: MetaDataCustomClass is just a custom Class having a Value instance variable of type String.
Class MetaDataCustomClass {
private String value;
public MetaDataCustomClass(String value){
this.value = value;
}
}
I have a test.json file with data:
{
"name":"tet",
"id":"1",
"age" : "34"
}
Now when I query select * from test; should show me the result as
name id age
-----------
tet 1 34
Is it possible to directly query a JSON Object as we do for XML?
The popular Jackson XML library supports JsonPointer since version 2.3. This is a query language similar to XPath
Input
[{
"name":"tet",
"id":"1",
"age" : "34"
},{
"name":"tet",
"id":"1",
"age" : "34"
},{
"name":"tet",
"id":"1",
"age" : "34"
},{
"name":"tet",
"id":"1",
"age" : "34"
}]
Example
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode root = objectMapper.readTree(new File("foo.json"));
System.out.println(root.at("/0/name").asText());
I would say you can either try looking for a library which allows you to search throught JSON data or to convert your json to JSONObjects and query your data in a Object Oriented way.
Perhaps this thread will help:
Query a JSONObject in java
there is no way to query directly from the Json, if you want you have to create a new class that will do your requirement, OR you can use the ObjectMapper (download and add to your class path) from jackson-all-1.9.0.jar, and create a new transfer Object TestTO.java expose the setters and getters you will get your data like below..
1.create TestTO.java
public class TestTO{
private String name;
private int id;
private int age;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
}
2.read your data from the object.
final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Test test = mapper.readValue(yourJson.json, TestTO.class);
String name = test.getName();
int id = test.getId();
int age = test.getAge();
if your json contains the multiple test objects, use an test array like below, it will give you the array of tests, you can iterate over and get the data, like below.
final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
TestTO[] test = mapper.readValue(yourJson.json, TestTO.class[]);
for(Test tst:test){
String name = test.getName();
int id = test.getId();
int age = test.getAge();
}
