This post explains how to achieve mapping of json data represented by an object model to particular java object. Here object model is tree like data structure which reads and stores the entire json content in memory. The difference between this post and other posts in Binding section is that latter posts explains marshalling and…… Continue reading Achieving data binding with object model

Creating and Writing JSON object model to a file
This post explains how to create and save json object model to a file. In the example we build the below json object model representing person information. { “ssn” : “111111111”, “name” : { “firstName” : “Ronald”, “lastName” : “Childs” }, “phoneNumbers” : [ “1112223333”, “4445556666” ] } The main code is as shown below…… Continue reading Creating and Writing JSON object model to a file
Reading json data in non-streaming way (object model)
We can read a json file and create an object model of it, using the ObjectMapper’s readTree api. ObjectMapper class is responsible for parsing the json file and create appropriate java objects. It uses Jackson’s parsing feature internally for reading the json file. They are many overloaded method of readTree available in ObjectMapper. In this…… Continue reading Reading json data in non-streaming way (object model)
Printing json data in a formatted way
This post explains how to print json data in a properly formatted way, whether the destination is console, file etc. For example when the below code prints the json data to a file, the output will be as shown below Initial Code package package11; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.IOException; import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonFactory; import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator; public…… Continue reading Printing json data in a formatted way
Handling json deserialization error
This post explains how to handle errors generated while deserializing the json file. This can be achieved by implementing an interface “DeserializationProblemHandler” provided by jackson framework as shown below UnMarshallingErrorHandler package package1; import java.io.IOException; import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser; import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.DeserializationProblemHandler; public class UnMarshallingErrorHandler extends DeserializationProblemHandler { @Override public boolean handleUnknownProperty(DeserializationContext ctxt,…… Continue reading Handling json deserialization error
Getting JsonGenerator settings
This post explains how to get JsonGenerator settings. JsonGenerator class obtained from JsonFactory is responsible for writing json data as a stream instead of constructing an entire object model in memory and then writing to destination. The list of settings that can be turned on or off are present in an enumeration JsonGenerator.Feature. The below…… Continue reading Getting JsonGenerator settings
Getting JsonFactory settings
This post explains how to get JsonFactory settings. The JsonFactory class is thread safe and responsible for creating instances of writer and reader. Creating an instance of JsonFactory is an light weight operation. The list of settings that can be turned on or off are present in an enumeration JsonFactory.Feature. The below code shows how…… Continue reading Getting JsonFactory settings
Writing json data using Jackson JsonGenerator
The below post explains how to write json data to file using JsonGenerator. JsonGenerator writes the data to a file in streaming way, helping the developer using the api to avoid creating an object representation of the data. We can get an instance of JsonGenerator with the help of an instance of JsonFactory as shown…… Continue reading Writing json data using Jackson JsonGenerator
UnMarshaling Json file
This post explains unmarshalling a object information stored in json format to java object . This can be achieved with the help of ObjectMapper provided by jackson databind package. To explain with an example we will use the below pojo objects User public class User { private Name name; private String ssn; private String sex;…… Continue reading UnMarshaling Json file
Marshaling Java Object
This post explains marshalling a java object to json format and storing it to a file. This can be achieved with the help of ObjectMapper provided by jackson databind package. To explain with an example we will use the below pojo objects User public class User { private Name name; private String ssn; private String…… Continue reading Marshaling Java Object
