What is it?

JsonSerializable it's a simple library based on Gson that allows to serialize/deserialize objects, Lists of objects, Maps of objects, etc.

Getting started

1. Checkout library project from there.
2. Open project's root folder using terminal (*nix-based OS) or CMD (Windows family).
3. Use mvn package command to build jar library.
4. After packaging, copy jsonsserializable.jar into <project path>/<project name>/app/libs/ folder.
5. Rebuild your project.

Using JsonSerializable

• Simple objects example:

        String name = "TestName";
        String surname = "TestSurname";
        int age = 20;

        //Creating object for serialization
        UserProfile profile = new UserProfile(name, surname, age);
        
        //Object serialization
        String jsonProfile = JsonSerializable.toJson(profile);

        //Object deserialization
        UserProfile userProfileFromJson = JsonSerializable.fromJsonUnsafe(UserProfile.class, jsonProfile);

• List of objects

        String name = "TestName";
        String surname = "TestSurname";
        int age = 20;

        //Creating list of objects
        List<UserProfile> userProfileList = new ArrayList<>(5);
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

            String tmpName = name + i;
            String tmpSurname = name + i;
            int tmpAge = age + i;


            userProfileList.add(new UserProfile(tmpName, tmpSurname, tmpAge));
        }

        //List serialization
        String jsonProfiles = JsonSerializable.toJson(userProfileList);

        //List deserialization
        List<UserProfile> userProfileListFromJson = JsonSerializable.toList(jsonProfiles, UserProfile.class);

• Map of objects

        String name = "TestName";
        String surname = "TestSurname";
        int age = 20;


        List<UserProfile> userProfileList = new ArrayList<>(5);
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

            String tmpName = name + i;
            String tmpSurname = name + i;
            int tmpAge = age + i;


            userProfileList.add(new UserProfile(tmpName, tmpSurname, tmpAge));
        }

        //Creating map of objects
        Map<Integer, UserProfile> userProfileMap = new HashMap<>();
        int i = 0;
        for (UserProfile profileItem : userProfileList) {
            userProfileMap.put(i, profileItem);
            i++;
        }

        //Map serialization
        String jsonMapProfiles = JsonSerializable.toJson(userProfileMap);

        //Map deserialization
        Map<Integer, UserProfile> userProfileMapFromJson = JsonSerializable.toMap(jsonMapProfiles, Integer.class, UserProfile.class);
