I have the following schema:
public class Student {
String name;
List<Integer> sequence;
}
I need the Json of my Student
object to be
{
name : "Bruce"
sequence : {
index_0 : 5
index_1 : 2
index_2 : 7
index_3 : 8
}
}
The documentation doesn't clearly say how to write a serializer for collections.
You could create a TypeAdapter
, something like:
public static class StudentAdapter extends TypeAdapter<Student> {
public void write(JsonWriter writer, Student student)
throws IOException {
if (student == null) {
writer.nullValue();
return;
}
writer.beginObject();
writer.name("name");
writer.value(student.name);
writer.name("sequence");
writeSequence(writer, student.sequence);
writer.endObject();
}
private void writeSequence(JsonWriter writer, List<Integer> seq)
throws IOException {
writer.beginObject();
for (int i = 0; i < seq.size(); i++) {
writer.name("index_" + i);
writer.value(seq.get(i));
}
writer.endObject();
}
@Override
public Student read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
// This is left blank as an exercise for the reader
return null;
}
}
And then register it with
GsonBuilder b = new GsonBuilder();
b.registerTypeAdapter(Student.class, new StudentAdapter());
Gson g = b.create();
If you run this with an example student:
Student s = new Student();
s.name = "John Smith";
s.sequence = ImmutableList.of(1,3,4,7); // This is a guava method
System.out.println(g.toJson(s));
Output:
{"name":"John Smith","sequence":{"index_0":1,"index_1":3,"index_2":4,"index_3":7}}
GSON supports a custom FieldNamingStrategy
:
new GsonBuilder().setFieldNamingStrategy(new FieldNamingStrategy() {
@Override
public String translateName(java.lang.reflect.Field f) {
// return a custom field name
}
});
But this obviously does not cover your case, an easy workaround i can think of would be to make your sequence
list transient
and have an actual sequence map with the corrected data for GSON:
public class Student {
String name;
transient List<Integer> sequenceInternal;
Map<String, Integer> sequence;
}
and whenever a change occurs on your sequenceInternal
object, write the changes through to the sequence map.
