The Java API for JSON Binding (JSON-B) 1.0 strengthens the Java EE platform\u2019s overall support for the JSON data interchange format. Already, the Java API for JSON Processing (JSON-P) 1.1<\/a> has proved popular and together they form the perfect partners that fill a long-standing shortcoming in Java EE\u2019s JSON capacity.<\/p>\n

Next article<\/strong> in this series covers the customization of JSON Binding operations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The JSON-B specification codifies industry practices<\/strong> and methodologies that have become commonplace. It makes heavy use of annotations to mark classes and fields with mapping semantics<\/strong> and provides the extensibility that is so often needed when dealing with complex data structures.<\/p>\n

Out of the box, it provides default mappings for serialization<\/strong> and deserialization<\/strong> that meet reasonable expectations. The default customizations are overridable with two customization methodologies:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. compile <\/b>time annotations and<\/li>\n
  2. a runtime <\/b>configuration builder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For advanced customizations, the API provides adapters and serializers\/deserializers<\/strong> for times when the runtime builder and mapping annotations are not sufficient.<\/p>\n

    Headline Features<\/h2>\n

    The primary feature of this API is the provision of binding support <\/b>between Java classes and JSON documents in an intuitive and easy to use manner, such that a developer, with no prior knowledge of JSON, should be able to develop effectively with the API. For those with prior experience of other JSON de\/serialization libraries such as GSON and Jackson, it will feel very familiar.

    <\/div> <\/div><\/p>\n

    The JSON-B API provides two entry point interfaces: Jsonb<\/b><\/em>\u00a0<\/em>and JsonbBuilder<\/b><\/em>. The Jsonb\u00a0<\/em>interface provides the serialization and deserialization functionality via the methods toJson()<\/em> and fromJson()<\/em>, and the JsonbBuilder<\/em> interface provides the client an access point to a Jsonb\u00a0<\/em>instance. It builds the instance based on a set of optional configurations.<\/p>\n

    Simple Example<\/h2>\n

    Let\u2019s jump in with a simple example that does a round-trip conversion of an instance of the Book.class<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    To start a serialization or deserialization you need an instance of Jsonb<\/em>. You create this by calling the static factory method create()<\/em> on the JsonBuilder<\/em> interface. With this instance you can perform all the serialization and deserialization operations you require by selecting the appropriate overloaded toJson()<\/em> or fromJson()<\/em> method.<\/p>\n

    In this code snippet, I call the simplest toJson()<\/em> method and passed it a book<\/em> object.<\/p>\n

    Book book = new Book(\"SHDUJ-4532\", \"Fun with Java\", \"Alex Theedom\");\r\nString bookJson = JsonbBuilder.create().toJson(book);<\/pre>\n
    The return value of this method is a String<\/em> that is the JSON data representation of the object passed to the toJson()<\/em> method.<\/p>\n
    Now let\u2019s turn our attention to the deserialization operation. It is just as simple as serialization and also requires an instance of Jsonb<\/em>. In the code snippet, I call the simplest fromJson()<\/em> method and pass it the JSON String generated by the previous example, this is the JSON data I want to deserialize, and it\u2019s target type as a class type.<\/p>\n
    String json = \"{\\\"author\\\":\\\"Alex Theedom\\\",\" +\r\n               \"\\\"id\\\":\\\"SHDUJ-4532\\\",\" +\r\n               \"\\\"title\\\":\\\"Fun with Java\\\"}\";\r\nBook book = JsonbBuilder.create().fromJson(json, Book.class);<\/pre>\n
    In these examples, I have used the simplest toJson()<\/em> and fromJson()<\/em> method\u2019s from the range of overloaded method available on the Jsonb<\/em> interface. Now let\u2019s dive a little deeper and look at how to customize the serialization and deserialization process.<\/p>\n
    Now that wraps up this introduction of the JSON Binding API, there is plenty more to know about the JSON-B.<\/p>\n
