Class JsonFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

GsonFactory, JacksonFactory

public abstract class JsonFactory
extends Object

Abstract low-level JSON factory.

Implementation is thread-safe, and sub-classes must be thread-safe. For maximum efficiency, applications should use a single globally-shared instance of the JSON factory.

Method Detail

createJsonParser

public abstract JsonParser createJsonParser(InputStream in)
                                     throws IOException

Returns a new instance of a low-level JSON parser for the given input stream.

Parameters:

in - input stream

Returns:

new instance of a low-level JSON parser

Throws:

IOException - if failed

createJsonParser

public abstract JsonParser createJsonParser(String value)
                                     throws IOException

Returns a new instance of a low-level JSON parser for the given string value.

Parameters:

value - string value

Returns:

new instance of a low-level JSON parser

Throws:

IOException - if failed

createJsonParser

public abstract JsonParser createJsonParser(Reader reader)
                                     throws IOException

Returns a new instance of a low-level JSON parser for the given reader.

Parameters:

reader - reader

Returns:

new instance of a low-level JSON parser

Throws:

IOException - if failed

createJsonGenerator

public abstract JsonGenerator createJsonGenerator(OutputStream out,
                                                  JsonEncoding enc)
                                           throws IOException

Returns a new instance of a low-level JSON serializer for the given output stream and encoding.

Parameters:

out - output stream

enc - encoding

Returns:

new instance of a low-level JSON serializer

Throws:

IOException - if failed

createJsonGenerator

public abstract JsonGenerator createJsonGenerator(Writer writer)
                                           throws IOException

Returns a new instance of a low-level JSON serializer for the given writer.

Parameters:

writer - writer

Returns:

new instance of a low-level JSON serializer

Throws:

IOException - if failed

toString

public final String toString(Object item)

Returns a serialized JSON string representation for the given item using JsonGenerator.serialize(Object).

Parameters:

item - data key/value pairs

Returns:

serialized JSON string representation

toPrettyString

public final String toPrettyString(Object item)

Returns a pretty-printed serialized JSON string representation for the given item using JsonGenerator.serialize(Object) with JsonGenerator.enablePrettyPrint().

The specifics of how the JSON representation is made pretty is implementation dependent, and should not be relied on. However, it is assumed to be legal, and in fact differs from toString(Object) only by adding whitespace that does not change its meaning.

Parameters:

item - data key/value pairs

Returns:

serialized JSON string representation

Since:

1.6

toByteArray

public final byte[] toByteArray(Object item)

Returns a UTF-8 encoded byte array of the serialized JSON representation for the given item using JsonGenerator.serialize(Object).

Parameters:

item - data key/value pairs

Returns:

byte array of the serialized JSON representation

Since:

1.7

fromString

public final <T> T fromString(String value,
                              Class<T> destinationClass)
                   throws IOException

Parses a string value as a JSON object, array, or value into a new instance of the given destination class using JsonParser.parse(Class, CustomizeJsonParser).

Parameters:

value - JSON string value

destinationClass - destination class that has an accessible default constructor to use to create a new instance

Returns:

new instance of the parsed destination class

Throws:

IOException

Since:

1.4

fromInputStream

public final <T> T fromInputStream(InputStream inputStream,
                                   Class<T> destinationClass)
                        throws IOException

Parse and close an input stream as a JSON object, array, or value into a new instance of the given destination class using JsonParser.parseAndClose(Class, CustomizeJsonParser).

Parameters:

inputStream - JSON value in an input stream

destinationClass - destination class that has an accessible default constructor to use to create a new instance

Returns:

new instance of the parsed destination class

Throws:

IOException

Since:

1.7

fromReader

public final <T> T fromReader(Reader reader,
                              Class<T> destinationClass)
                   throws IOException

Parse and close a reader as a JSON object, array, or value into a new instance of the given destination class using JsonParser.parseAndClose(Class, CustomizeJsonParser).

Parameters:

reader - JSON value in a reader

destinationClass - destination class that has an accessible default constructor to use to create a new instance

Returns:

new instance of the parsed destination class

Throws:

IOException
