How to convert List to Json in Java

by

Use GSON library for that. Here is the sample code

List<String> foo = new ArrayList<String>();
foo.add("A");
foo.add("B");
foo.add("C");

String json = new Gson().toJson(foo );

Here is the maven dependency for Gson

<dependencies>
    <!--  Gson: Java to Json conversion -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
        <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.2</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Or you can directly download jar from here and put it in your class path

http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/downloads/detail?name=gson-1.0.jar&can=4&q=

To send Json to client you can use spring or in simple servlet add this code

response.getWriter().write(json);
