I'm new to JSON. I need to store the list from JSON object to java arraylist. In JSON object I'm having list of object. which is need to store in Arraylist list = new ArrayList<>();
You can check this example, it specifies exactly what you need
https://www.javatpoint.com/how-to-convert-json-array-to-arraylist-in-java
JSONObject jsnobject = new JSONObject(json);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsnobject.getJSONArray("languages");
ArrayList<Object> listdata = new ArrayList<Object>();
if (jsonArray != null) {
for (int i=0;i<jsonArray.length();i++){
listdata.add(jsonArray.get(i));
}
}
or java 8 style I recommend to use this one
https://mkyong.com/java/jackson-convert-json-array-string-to-list/
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
List<Person> pp3 = mapper.readValue(json, new TypeReference<List<Person>>() {});

I have String "[{...}]" and I want convert it to JSONArray, and then to List list = new List I was trying this solution, and this is my code
public void RestoreData()
{
String toConvert = "[{...}]" // I don't place full String, but it's typical JSONArray, but in String
ArrayList<myClass> listdata = new ArrayList<myClass>();
JsonObject jsonObject = new JsonObject();
JSONArray jArray = (JSONArray)jsonObject;
if (jArray != null) {
for (int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){
listdata.add(jArray.getString(i));
}
}
}
And when I'm trying to compile this I get 2 errors:
In JSONArray jArray = (JSONArray)jsonObject; I get error 'Incovertible types; cannot cast 'org.json.JSONObject' to 'org.json.JSONArray'.
And second: in listdata.add(jArray.getString(i)); I get error 'unhandled exception org.json.JSONException'.
I'm new in Java and I work with Json for the first time.
EDIT
A small truncated example of the Json string:
[{"lootArmorGain":0,"lootBlockGain":0,"lootCost":93500,"lootCritGain":2,"lootCritPowerGain":0,"lootDamageAbsorptionGain":0,"lootDamageGain":0,
}]
I think what you want is:
public void RestoreData()
{
try{
String toConvert = "[{...}]" // I don't place full String, but it's typical JSONArray, but in String
ArrayList<MyClass> listdata = new ArrayList<MyClass>();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(toConvert);
if (jsonArray != null) {
Gson gson = new Gson();
for (int i=0;i<jsonArray.length();i++){
String json = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).toString();
MyClass obj = gson.fromJson(json, MyClass.class);
listdata.add(obj);
}
}
}catch(JSONException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
To convert from JSONOject to your custom class use GSON, see above.
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.4'
Note that your custom class need to have an empty constructor as well as getters and setters in order to make gson work.
I think best approach will be using Google Gson Library.
String toConvert = "[{...}]"
Type listType = new TypeToken<List<myClass>>() {}.getType();
List<myClass> yourList = new Gson().fromJson(toConvert, listType);
You dont need to get each position manually.
For simplicity you can also use Jackson api
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
TypeFactory typeFactory = objectMapper.getTypeFactory();
List<SomeClass> someClassList = objectMapper.readValue(jsonString,typeFactory.constructCollectionType(List.class, SomeClass.class));
I have pass two values from ajax to my servlet.
I used
JsonObject data = new Gson().fromJson(request.getReader(), JsonObject.class);
System.out.println(data);
and this is the output
{"0":"31/01/2017","1":"19/01/2017"}
Now I want to convert this data into a java arraylist but not really sure how.
I tried
Gson googleJson = new Gson();
JsonObject data = googleJson.fromJson(request.getReader(), JsonObject.class);
System.out.println(data);
JsonArray jsonArr = data.getAsJsonArray();
// jsonArr.
ArrayList jsonObjList = googleJson.fromJson(jsonArr, ArrayList.class);
for(int i=0; i< jsonObjList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(jsonObjList.get(i));
}
But got an error
java.lang.IllegalStateException: This is not a JSON Array.
Someone help me please? thanks.
Create instance of JsonArray then add json element to that array using key.
Here is your solution :
Gson googleJson = new Gson();
JsonObject data = googleJson.fromJson(request.getReader(), JsonObject.class);
System.out.println(data);
JsonArray jsonArr = new JsonArray();
for(Entry<String, JsonElement> entry : data.entrySet()) {
jsonArr.add(data.get(entry.getKey()));
}
ArrayList jsonObjList = googleJson.fromJson(jsonArr, ArrayList.class);
for(int i = 0; i < jsonObjList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(jsonObjList.get(i));
}
For a Json to be a valid JsonArray object you should have it to a proper format. Can you change your json string return from your ajax? If yes you should change it to something like this:
Gson googleJson = new Gson();
JsonObject data = googleJson.fromJson("{test: [{\"0\":\"31/01/2017\"},{\"1\":\"19/01/2017\"}]}", JsonObject.class);
System.out.println(data);
JsonArray jsonArr = data.getAsJsonArray("test");
ArrayList jsonObjList = googleJson.fromJson(jsonArr, ArrayList.class);
for(int i=0; i< jsonObjList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(jsonObjList.get(i));
}
If not you should parse it by your self and convert it to everything you want.
public ArrayList<String> convertJsonToJsonObject(){
ArrayList<String> mylist = new ArrayList<String> ();
mylist.add("abc");
mylist.add("cfd");
mylist.add("ert");
mylist.add("fg");
mylist.add("ujk");
mylist.add("wer");
mylist.add("dvb");
mylist.add("ert");
System.out.println("JSONObject :: "+(JSONObject)JSONSerializer.toJson(mylist));
}
I am having error at .toJson() method, I am not sure what is the mistake I am making.
You can use the GSON library to accomplish this.
ArrayList<String> mylist = new ArrayList<String> ();
mylist.add("abc");
mylist.add("cfd");
mylist.add("ert");
mylist.add("fg");
mylist.add("ujk");
String json = new Gson().toJson(mylist);
You can refer to the GSON User Guide for more support.
JSONArray jsArray = new JSONArray(mylist);
Or
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonArray = gson.toJson(mylist);
Get java-json.jar and Gson.jar here
gson.toJson(object);
Gson Google Group
ArrayList<Domain> list = new ArrayList<Domain>();
list.add(new Domain());
list.add(new Domain());
list.add(new Domain());
String json = new Gson().toJson(list);
List<String> bibo = new ArrayList<String>();
bibo.add("obj1");
bibo.add("obj2");
bibo.add("obj3");
String json = new Gson().toJson(bibo);
I want to convert my ArrayList<object> to a JSON String and back to ArrayList<object>
But I really don't know how to do that :
Something like :
Convert
ArrayList<data> arrayData = new ArrayList<data>();
JSONObject retObject = new JSONObject();
retObject.put("data", new JSONArray(arrayData ));
Return convert
idk...
You can consider using a JSON library like Google's Gson library to store and retrieve objects as JSON strings. This is a lightweight library, well regarded and popular. It would be an ideal solution in your case with minimal work required. e.g.,
// How to store JSON string
Gson gson = new Gson();
// This can be any object. Does not have to be an arraylist.
String json = gson.toJson(myAppsArr);
// How to retrieve your Java object back from the string
Gson gson = new Gson();
DataObject obj = gson.fromJson(arrayString, ArrayList.class);
Using Jackson:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String listAsJson = mapper.writeValueAsString(oldList);
List<Object> newList= mapper.readValue(listAsJson ,new TypeReference<List<Object>>() {});
ArrayList<Product> arrayData = new ArrayList<Product>();
Gson gson = new Gson();
convert list to json object
String jsonCartList = gson.toJson(cartList);
convert json to your list
List<Product> prodList = gson.fromJson(jsonCartList, Product.class);
I'm Workin with Mongo using Jongo, when I do a query I receive a LinkedHashMap as result.
Iterator one = (Iterator) friends.find(query).projection("{_id:0}").as(Object.class);
while (one.hasNext()) {
LinkedHashMap data = new LinkedHashMap();
data = (LinkedHashMap) one.next();
String content = data.toString();
}
the problem is that if the json is {"user":"something"} content will be {user=something}, it is not a json is only toString method from HashMap.
How I can get the original JSON?
I don't have a class to map the response and it isn't a solution create a map class, that is why I use a Object.class.
If you have access to some JSON library, it seems like that's the way to go.
If using org.json library, use public JSONObject(java.util.Map map):
String jsonString = new JSONObject(data).toString()
If Gson, use the gson.toJson() method mentioned by #hellboy:
String jsonString = new Gson().toJson(data, Map.class);
You can use Gson library from Google to convert any object to JSON. Here is an example to convert LinkedHashMap to json -
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(map,LinkedHashMap.class);
One of the com.mongodb.BasicDBObject constructors takes a Map as input. Then you just have to call the toString() on the BasicDBObject object.
Iterator one = (Iterator) friends.find(query).projection("{_id:0}").as(Object.class);
while (one.hasNext()) {
LinkedHashMap data= new LinkedHashMap();
data= (LinkedHashMap) one.next();
com.mongodb.BasicDBObject bdo = new com.mongodb.BasicDBObject(data);
String json = bdo.toString();
}
I resolved the problem using the following code:
Iterator one = (Iterator) friends.find(query).projection("{_id:0}").as(Object.class);
while (one.hasNext()) {
Map data= new HashMap();
data= (HashMap) one.next();
JSONObject d = new JSONObject();
d.putAll(data);
String content=d.toString();
}
if(data instanceof LinkedHashMap){
json=new Gson.toJson(data,Map.class).toString();
}
else{
json=data.toString();
}
return Document.parse(json);
