Answer 1

Builder pattern is used in javax.json.Json and javax.json.JsonBuilder classes while building Json objects.

Good explanation is at http://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/index.php?api=javax.json.JsonObjectBuilder and also check out its official documentation.

JsonObjectBuilder b = Json.createObjectBuilder().
            add( "report", Json.createObjectBuilder().
                 add( "reportId", reportId ).
                 add( "title", title ).
                 add( "subtitle", subTitle == null ? "" : subTitle ).
                 add( "created", created.toString() ).
                 add( "description", description == null ? "" : description ).
                 add( "data", report )
            );
return b.build();
