如何使用Json4s将Map转换为Json

Question

I am using the json4s library to convert maps in scala to json but keep running into a basic error when operating on Map[Char,Int]:

Here is the code sample that is giving me problems.

  import org.json4s.jackson.JsonMethods._
  import org.json4s.JsonDSL.WithDouble._

    val myMap = Map('a' -> 123)

    render(myMap)

error: No implicit view available from (Char, Int) => org.json4s.JsonAST.JValue.

Question: What is the correct way to convert a Map that is made of [Char, Int] to a Json object using Json4s?

Answer 1

The keys of a JSON object are always strings, and furthermore, there is no equivalent of Char in JSON. See json.org for the specification.

You could convert the keys of your Map[Char, Int] before rendering:

myMap.map { case(k, v) => (k.toString, v) }

Answer 2

Also you could consider to use

``println(scala.util.parsing.json.JSONObject(m))```

From Scala 2.10
