Groovy - Convert object to JSON string

Question

I\'m pretty used to Grails converters, where you can convert any object to a JSON representation just like this (http://grails.org/Converters+Reference)

return f         


        

Answer 1

I couldn't get the other answers to work within the evaluate console in Intellij so...

groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson(myObject)

This works quite well, but unfortunately

groovy.json.JsonOutput.prettyString(myObject)

didn't work for me.

To get it pretty printed I had to do this...

groovy.json.JsonOutput.prettyPrint(groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson(myObject))
