Class JsonObject
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Iterable<Member>
Members can be added using the add(String, ...)
methods which accept instances of
JsonValue
, strings, primitive numbers, and boolean values. To modify certain values of an
object, use the set(String, ...)
methods. Please note that the add
methods are faster than set
as they do not search for existing members. On the other
hand, the add
methods do not prevent adding multiple members with the same name.
Duplicate names are discouraged but not prohibited by JSON.
Members can be accessed by their name using get(String)
. A list of all names can be
obtained from the method names()
. This class also supports iterating over the members in
document order using an iterator()
or an enhanced for loop:
for (Member member : jsonObject) { String name = member.getName(); JsonValue value = member.getValue(); ... }
Even though JSON objects are unordered by definition, instances of this class preserve the order of members to allow processing in document order and to guarantee a predictable output.
Note that this class is not thread-safe. If multiple threads access a
JsonObject
instance concurrently, while at least one of these threads modifies the
contents of this object, access to the instance must be synchronized externally. Failure to do so
may lead to an inconsistent state.
This class is not supposed to be extended by clients.

public JsonObject()Creates a new empty JsonObject. -
JsonObject
Creates a new JsonObject, initialized with the contents of the specified JSON object.- Parameters:
object
- the JSON object to get the initial contents from, must not benull
-
-
Method Details
-
readFrom
Deprecated.UseJson.parse(Reader)
.asObject()
insteadReads a JSON object from the given reader.Characters are read in chunks and buffered internally, therefore wrapping an existing reader in an additional
BufferedReader
does not improve reading performance.- Parameters:
reader
- the reader to read the JSON object from- Returns:
- the JSON object that has been read
- Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs in the readerParseException
- if the input is not valid JSONUnsupportedOperationException
- if the input does not contain a JSON object
-
readFrom
Deprecated.UseJson.parse(String)
.asObject()
insteadReads a JSON object from the given string.- Parameters:
string
- the string that contains the JSON object- Returns:
- the JSON object that has been read
- Throws:
ParseException
- if the input is not valid JSONUnsupportedOperationException
- if the input does not contain a JSON object
-
unmodifiableObject
Returns an unmodifiable JsonObject for the specified one. This method allows to provide read-only access to a JsonObject.The returned JsonObject is backed by the given object and reflect changes that happen to it. Attempts to modify the returned JsonObject result in an
UnsupportedOperationException
.- Parameters:
object
- the JsonObject for which an unmodifiable JsonObject is to be returned- Returns:
- an unmodifiable view of the specified JsonObject
-
add
Appends a new member to the end of this object, with the specified name and the JSON representation of the specifiedint
value.This method does not prevent duplicate names. Calling this method with a name that already exists in the object will append another member with the same name. In order to replace existing members, use the method
set(name, value)
instead. However, add is much faster than set (because it does not need to search for existing members). Therefore add should be preferred when constructing new objects.- Parameters:
name
- the name of the member to addvalue
- the value of the member to add- Returns:
- the object itself, to enable method chaining
