How to convert list data into json in java
public static List<Product> getCartList() {
JSONObject responseDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
List<Product> cartList = new Vector<Product>(cartMap.keySet().size());
for(Product p : cartMap.keySet()) {
cartList.add(p);
JSONObject formDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
formDetailsJson.put("id", "1");
formDetailsJson.put("name", "name1");
jsonArray.add(formDetailsJson);
}
responseDetailsJson.put("forms", jsonArray);//Here you can see the data in json format
return cartList;
}
you can get the data in the following form
{
"forms": [
{ "id": "1", "name": "name1" },
{ "id": "2", "name": "name2" }
]
}
Using gson it is much simpler. Use following code snippet:
// create a new Gson instance
Gson gson = new Gson();
// convert your list to json
String jsonCartList = gson.toJson(cartList);
// print your generated json
System.out.println("jsonCartList: " + jsonCartList);
Converting back from JSON string to your Java object
// Converts JSON string into a List of Product object
Type type = new TypeToken<List<Product>>(){}.getType();
List<Product> prodList = gson.fromJson(jsonCartList, type);
// print your List<Product>
System.out.println("prodList: " + prodList);
