I have a json like below :
{
"Student": [
{
"name":"5",
"Roll No":12345,
"Subjects":[
{
"subjectCode":"Mat"
},
{
"subjectCode":"Sci"
}
]
}
]
}
I want to sort list of subjects within each student and then sorting student objects with roll no.Can it be done with java8 in single line.
I am using below code :
list.forEach(studentObj -> {
studentObj.getSubjects()
.sort(Comparator.nullsLast(Comparator.comparing(Subject:: getSubjectCode)));
});
then sorting the outside object
list.sort(Comparator.nullsLast(Comparator.comparing(Student:: getRollNo)));
After parsing it to object you could write something like below:
List<Student> sorted = students.stream()
.map(f -> new Student(f.getId(), f.getSubjects().stream().sorted(Comparator.comparing(Subject::getSubjectCode)).collect(Collectors.toList())))
.sorted(Comparator.comparing(Student::getRollNo))
.collect(Collectors.toList())
If you were to implement the Comparable interface with your 2 classes Student
and Subject
you could make it really nice and short because you can use the Comparator.naturalOrder() static factory method
Also it allows you to change the way you want to define how Subjects
or Students
get ordered by simply changing their compareTo
method
Student
class Student implements Comparable<Student> {
String name;
int rollNo;
List<Subject> subjects = new ArrayList<>();
// GETTERS/SETTERS
@Override
public int compareTo(Student student) {
return Integer.compare(this.getRollNo(), student.getRollNo());
}
}
Subject
class Subject implements Comparable<Subject> {
String subjectCode;
// GETTERS/SETTERS
@Override
public int compareTo(Subject subject) {
return this.getSubjectCode().compareTo(subject.getSubjectCode());
}
}
And then
// static import to make code lighter
import static java.util.Comparator.*;
// sort Students list, then sort Subjects list in each Student
list.sort(nullsLast(naturalOrder()));
list.forEach(s -> { if (s != null) {
s.getSubjects().sort(nullsLast(naturalOrder()));
}});
One liner version if you really need it
List<Student> sortedList = list.stream()
.map(s -> {
if (s != null) {
s.getSubjects().sort(nullsLast(naturalOrder()));
}
return s;
}).sorted(nullsLast(naturalOrder()))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Here are a few one liner examples that should get you started, using java streams.
List<String> sorted = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("Input1", "Input2", "Etc")).stream().sorted((a, b) -> a.compareTo(b));
List<String> sorted = json.stream().sorted((a, b) -> a.compareTo(b));
List<String> sorted = json.stream().sorted();
Here is how to sort all lists inside of a list, so you can refactor now to make it a one liner
void method() {
sort(list);
}
void sort(List list) {
if (list.size() == 0)
return;
list.stream().sorted();
for (Object o : list)
if (o instanceof List)
sorted((List) o);
}
Here are some references to java streams:

Examples:
Try this one
List<Student> result = new ArrayList<>();
studentList.stream()
.sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(Student::getRollNo))
.map(student -> {
student.getSubjects().sort(Comparator.nullsLast(Comparator.comparing(Subjects::getSubjectCode)));
return student;
}).collect(Collectors.toList());
