All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Iterable<Member>

public class JsonObject extends JsonValue implements Iterable<Member>
Represents a JSON object, a set of name/value pairs, where the names are strings and the values are JSON values.

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.

      Creates a new empty JsonObject.
    • JsonObject

      public JsonObject(JsonObject object)
      Creates a new JsonObject, initialized with the contents of the specified JSON object.
      Parameters:

  • Method Details

    • readFrom

      @Deprecated public static JsonObject readFrom(Reader reader) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Reads 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 reader
      ParseException - if the input is not valid JSON
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the input does not contain a JSON object
    • readFrom

      @Deprecated public static JsonObject readFrom(String string)
      Deprecated.
      Reads 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 JSON
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the input does not contain a JSON object
    • unmodifiableObject

      public static JsonObject unmodifiableObject(JsonObject object)
      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

      public JsonObject add(String name, int value)
      Appends a new member to the end of this object, with the specified name and the JSON representation of the specified int 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.

Therefore add should be preferred when constructing new objects.

      Returns:
      the object itself, to enable method chaining
