Class JsonFactory (1.45.2)

public abstract class JsonFactory

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.

Methods

<T>fromInputStream(InputStream inputStream, Class<T> destinationClass)

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

Parse and close an input stream as a JSON object, array, or value into a new instance of the given destination class using <xref uid="com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.

Tries to detect the charset of the input stream automatically.

Name	Description
`inputStream`	`InputStream` JSON value in an input stream
`destinationClass`	`Class<T>` destination class that has an accessible default constructor to use to create a new instance

Returns
Type	Description
`T`	new instance of the parsed destination class

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

<T>fromInputStream(InputStream inputStream, Charset charset, Class<T> destinationClass)

public final T <T>fromInputStream(InputStream inputStream, Charset charset, Class<T> destinationClass)

Parse and close an input stream as a JSON object, array, or value into a new instance of the given destination class using <xref uid="com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.

Parameters
Name	Description
`inputStream`	`InputStream` JSON value in an input stream
`charset`	`Charset` Charset in which the stream is encoded
`destinationClass`	`Class<T>` destination class that has an accessible default constructor to use to create a new instance

Returns
Type	Description
`T`	new instance of the parsed destination class

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

<T>fromReader(Reader reader, Class<T> destinationClass)

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

Parse and close a reader as a JSON object, array, or value into a new instance of the given destination class using <xref uid="com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.

Parameters
Name	Description
`reader`	`Reader` JSON value in a reader
`destinationClass`	`Class<T>` destination class that has an accessible default constructor to use to create a new instance

Returns
Type	Description
`T`	new instance of the parsed destination class

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

<T>fromString(String value, Class<T> destinationClass)

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

Parses a string value as a JSON object, array, or value into a new instance of the given destination class using <xref uid="com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.

Parameters
Name	Description
`value`	`String` JSON string value
`destinationClass`	`Class<T>` destination class that has an accessible default constructor to use to create a new instance

Returns
Type	Description
`T`	new instance of the parsed destination class

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

createJsonGenerator(OutputStream out, Charset enc)

public abstract JsonGenerator createJsonGenerator(OutputStream out, Charset enc)

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

Parameters
Name	Description
`out`	`OutputStream` output stream
`enc`	`Charset` encoding

Returns
Type	Description
`JsonGenerator`	new instance of a low-level JSON serializer

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

createJsonGenerator(Writer writer)

public abstract JsonGenerator createJsonGenerator(Writer writer)

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

Parameter
Name	Description
`writer`	`Writer` writer

Returns
Type	Description
`JsonGenerator`	new instance of a low-level JSON serializer

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

createJsonObjectParser()

public final JsonObjectParser createJsonObjectParser()

Creates an object parser which uses this factory to parse JSON data.

Returns
Type	Description
`JsonObjectParser`

createJsonParser(InputStream in)

public abstract JsonParser createJsonParser(InputStream in)

Returns a new instance of a low-level JSON parser for the given input stream. The parser tries to detect the charset of the input stream by itself.

Parameter
Name	Description
`in`	`InputStream` input stream

Returns
Type	Description
`JsonParser`	new instance of a low-level JSON parser

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

createJsonParser(InputStream in, Charset charset)

public abstract JsonParser createJsonParser(InputStream in, Charset charset)

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

Parameters
Name	Description
`in`	`InputStream` input stream
`charset`	`Charset` charset in which the input stream is encoded or `null` to let the parser detect the charset

Returns
Type	Description
`JsonParser`	new instance of a low-level JSON parser

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

createJsonParser(Reader reader)

public abstract JsonParser createJsonParser(Reader reader)

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

Parameter
Name	Description
`reader`	`Reader` reader

Returns
Type	Description
`JsonParser`	new instance of a low-level JSON parser

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

createJsonParser(String value)

public abstract JsonParser createJsonParser(String value)

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

Parameter
Name	Description
`value`	`String` string value

Returns
Type	Description
`JsonParser`	new instance of a low-level JSON parser

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

toByteArray(Object item)

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).

Parameter
Name	Description
`item`	`Object` data key/value pairs

Returns
Type	Description
`byte[]`	byte array of the serialized JSON representation

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

toPrettyString(Object item)

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.

Parameter
Name	Description
`item`	`Object` data key/value pairs

Returns
Type	Description
`String`	serialized JSON string representation

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

toString(Object item)

public final String toString(Object item)

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

Parameter
Name	Description
`item`	`Object` data key/value pairs

Returns
Type	Description
`String`	serialized JSON string representation

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`
