How to convert POJO to JSON and vice versa?

by

Take a look at https://www.json.org

Imagine that you have a simple Java class like this:

public class Person {

    private String name;
    private Integer age;

    public String getName() { return this.name; }
    public void setName( String name ) { this.name = name; }

    public Integer getAge() { return this.age; }
    public void setAge( Integer age ) { this.age = age; }

}

So, to transform it into a JSON object, it’s very simple. Like this:

import org.json.JSONObject;

public class JsonTest {

    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        Person person = new Person();
        person.setName( "Person Name" );
        person.setAge( 333 );
        
        JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject( person );
        System.out.println( jsonObj );
    }

}

Here there is another example, in this case using Jackson: https://brunozambiazi.wordpress.com/2015/08/15/working-with-json-in-java/

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.1</version>
</dependency>

And a link (below) to find the latest/greatest version:
