Specified by:

setCodec in class JsonGenerator

Returns:

Generator itself (this), to allow chaining

getCodec

public final ObjectCodec getCodec()

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method for accessing the object used for writing Java object as Json content (using method JsonGenerator.writeObject(java.lang.Object)).

Specified by:

getCodec in class JsonGenerator

getOutputContext

public final JsonWriteContext getOutputContext()

Note: co-variant return type.

Specified by:

getOutputContext in class JsonGenerator

Returns:

Context object that can give information about logical position within generated json content.

writeFieldName

public void writeFieldName(SerializableString name)
                    throws IOException,
                           JsonGenerationException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeFieldName(String), main difference being that it may perform better as some of processing (such as quoting of certain characters, or encoding into external encoding if supported by generator) can be done just once and reused for later calls.

Default implementation simple uses unprocessed name container in serialized String; implementations are strongly encouraged to make use of more efficient methods argument object has.

Specified by:

writeFieldName in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonGenerationException

writeString

public void writeString(SerializableString text)
                 throws IOException,
                        JsonGenerationException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeString(String), but that takes SerializableString which can make this potentially more efficient to call as generator may be able to reuse quoted and/or encoded representation.

Default implementation just calls JsonGenerator.writeString(String); sub-classes should override it with more efficient implementation if possible.

Specified by:

writeString in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonGenerationException

writeRawValue

public void writeRawValue(String text)
                   throws IOException,
                          JsonGenerationException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method that will force generator to copy input text verbatim without any modifications, but assuming it must constitute a single legal JSON value (number, string, boolean, null, Array or List). Assuming this, proper separators are added if and as needed (comma or colon), and generator state updated to reflect this.

Specified by:

writeRawValue in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonGenerationException

writeRawValue

public void writeRawValue(String text,
                          int offset,
                          int len)
                   throws IOException,
                          JsonGenerationException

Specified by:

writeRawValue in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonGenerationException

writeRawValue

public void writeRawValue(char[] text,
                          int offset,
                          int len)
                   throws IOException,
                          JsonGenerationException

Specified by:

writeRawValue in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonGenerationException

writeObject

public void writeObject(Object value)
                 throws IOException,
                        JsonProcessingException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method for writing given Java object (POJO) as Json. Exactly how the object gets written depends on object in question (ad on codec, its configuration); for most beans it will result in Json object, but for others Json array, or String or numeric value (and for nulls, Json null literal. NOTE: generator must have its object codec set to non-null value; for generators created by a mapping factory this is the case, for others not.

Specified by:

writeObject in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonProcessingException

writeTree

public void writeTree(TreeNode rootNode)
               throws IOException,
                      JsonProcessingException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method for writing given JSON tree (expressed as a tree where given JsonNode is the root) using this generator. This will generally just call JsonGenerator.writeObject(java.lang.Object) with given node, but is added for convenience and to make code more explicit in cases where it deals specifically with trees.

Specified by:

writeTree in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonProcessingException

flush

public abstract void flush()
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method called to flush any buffered content to the underlying target (output stream, writer), and to flush the target itself as well.

Specified by:

flush in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method called to close this generator, so that no more content can be written.

Whether the underlying target (stream, writer) gets closed depends on whether this generator either manages the target (i.e. is the only one with access to the target -- case if caller passes a reference to the resource such as File, but not stream); or has feature JsonGenerator.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_TARGET enabled. If either of above is true, the target is also closed. Otherwise (not managing, feature not enabled), target is not closed.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

isClosed

public boolean isClosed()

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method that can be called to determine whether this generator is closed or not. If it is closed, no more output can be done.

Specified by:

isClosed in class JsonGenerator

copyCurrentEvent

public final void copyCurrentEvent(JsonParser jp)
                            throws IOException,
                                   JsonProcessingException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method for copying contents of the current event that the given parser instance points to. Note that the method will not copy any other events, such as events contained within Json Array or Object structures.

Calling this method will not advance the given parser, although it may cause parser to internally process more data (if it lazy loads contents of value events, for example)

Specified by:

copyCurrentEvent in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonProcessingException

copyCurrentStructure

public final void copyCurrentStructure(JsonParser jp)
                                throws IOException,
                                       JsonProcessingException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method for copying contents of the current event and following events that it encloses the given parser instance points to.

So what constitutes enclosing? Here is the list of events that have associated enclosed events that will get copied:

• JsonToken.START_OBJECT: all events up to and including matching (closing) JsonToken.END_OBJECT will be copied
• JsonToken.START_ARRAY all events up to and including matching (closing) JsonToken.END_ARRAY will be copied
• JsonToken.FIELD_NAME the logical value (which can consist of a single scalar value; or a sequence of related events for structured types (Json Arrays, Objects)) will be copied along with the name itself. So essentially the whole field entry (name and value) will be copied.

After calling this method, parser will point to the last event that was copied. This will either be the event parser already pointed to (if there were no enclosed events), or the last enclosed event copied.

Specified by:

copyCurrentStructure in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

JsonProcessingException
