Convert JavaObject To JSON

This document provides steps to convert a Java object to a JSON string using Jackson's data binding library. It includes adding the Jackson dependency to a Maven project, defining an Employee POJO class with sample data, and using the ObjectMapper to write the Employee object as a JSON string. The output JSON string contains the field names and values of the Employee object.

Hi Folks,

#Today's uploaded #Real_Time


Q.#How to #convert #Java object to #JSON string?
Ans-This page shows how to convert java object to JSON string using Jackson's data
binding.
As a first step add Jackson dependent jar file "jackson-mapper-asl" to your
classpath. Here is the pom.xml file for your reference:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>jackson_exmp</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson_exmp</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.10</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Create a simple Employee pojo. We will convert this pojo to JSON value. Note that
we have already initialized the Employee class with default values.

package com.javacoffee.json.models;

public class Employee {

private int empId = 1016;


private String name = "pratik kumar";
private String designation = "Programmer";
private String department = "Javacoffee";
private int salary = 20000;

public String toString(){


StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("************************************");
sb.append("\nempId: ").append(empId);
sb.append("\nname: ").append(name);
sb.append("\ndesignation: ").append(designation);
sb.append("\ndepartment: ").append(department);
sb.append("\nsalary: ").append(salary);
sb.append("\n************************************");
return sb.toString();
}

public int getEmpId() {


return empId;
}
public void setEmpId(int empId) {
this.empId = empId;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getDesignation() {
return designation;
}
public void setDesignation(String designation) {
this.designation = designation;
}
public String getDepartment() {
return department;
}
public void setDepartment(String department) {
this.department = department;
}
public int getSalary() {
return salary;
}
public void setSalary(int salary) {
this.salary = salary;
}
}
Finally here is the example to convert java object to JSON string:

package com.javacoffee.json.examples;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;

import com.java2novice.json.models.Employee;

public class ObjectToJsonEx {

public static void main(String[] a){

Employee emp = new Employee();


ObjectMapper mapperObj = new ObjectMapper();

try {
// get Employee object as a json string
String jsonStr = mapperObj.writeValueAsString(emp);
System.out.println(jsonStr);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Output:
{"empId":1016,"name":"pratik
kumar","designation":"Programmer","department":"Javacoffee","salary":20000}
