shryne / objectsjson

A json library that is written with a more object oriented design in mind.

ObjectsJson

This library offers a more object oriented way to parse json data.

Characteristics

• Declaritive design
• Everything is immutable
• Everything uses interfaces
• Easy expandable
• No unnecessary exception throwing
• No object mapping
• Supports conversion from and to a json file or anything else
• Own json sources or targets can be defined
• Uses mutation testing

Examples

Creating json

A json object can be created like this:

val json = JsonObject(
  "firstKey" to JsonString("firstValue"),
  "secondKey" to JsonInt(323),
  "thirdKey" to JsonObject(
    "fourthKey" to JsonArray(
      "a" to JsonBoolean("true"),
      "b" to JsonInt("342")
    )
  )
)

To export this data:

json.exportTo(
  FileTarget("path")
)

Result:

{
  "firstKey": "firstValue",
  "secondKey": 323,
  "thirdKey": {
    "fourthKey": [
      1, 2, 3, 4, 5
    ]
  }
}

Importing a json

To import json data, one has to specify the source of it:

JsonObject(
  FileSource("path")
)

Other sources are also possible. The JsonObject can be constructed by using a string, a file or other json objects. It just needs a class that implements the Source interface.
