Why Json test program doesn't work?

Question

When I run a Json test program with jdk 7, it says :

Exception in thread \"main\" javax.json.JsonException: Provider org.glassfish.json.JsonProviderImpl not fou         


        

Answer 1

javax.json-api-1.0.jar contains only API which is there for compile time dependency. But if you want to run your app, you need a provider / impl classes.

org.glassfish:javax.json is the jar you need that contains both api + impl classes.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.json</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.4</version>
</dependency>
