JSON string to Java object with Jackson

问题

This is probably one of those questions where the title says it all.

I am quite fascinated by the ObjectMapper's readValue(file, class) method, found within the Jackson library which reads a JSON string from a file and assigns it to an object.

I'm curious if this is possible to do by simply getting JSON from a string and applying it to an object.

Some sort of alternative readValue() method, which takes a String, instead of a file, and assigns it to an object?

For instance, while the default readValue(file, class) method looks like this:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Student student = mapper.readValue("C:\\student.json", Student.class);

I was wondering if there was some method in Jackson, which allowed the following:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Student student = mapper.readValue("{\"id\":100,\"firstName\":\"Adam\"}", Student.class);

The second example takes a string and an object of a class while the first one takes a file and an object of a class.

I just want to cut out the middle man, in this case, the file.

Is this doable or does no such method exist within the constraints of Jackson?

回答1:

Try this,

You can't create a new string like your doing.

    String string = "{\"id\":100,\"firstName\":\"Adam\"}";
    Student student = mapper.readValue(string, Student.class);

回答2:

And instead of handling errors in every mapper.readValue(json,Class) you can write a helper class which has another Generic method.

and use

String jsonString = "{\"id\":100,\"firstName\":\"Adam\"}";
Student student = JSONUtils.convertToObject(jsonString,Student.class);

I'm returning nulland fancying printing trace & checking null later on. You can handle error cases on your own way.

public class JSONUtils {
    public static String convertToJSON(Object object)
    {
        ObjectWriter ow = new ObjectMapper().writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter();
        String json;
        try {
            json = ow.writeValueAsString(object);
        } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return convertToJSON(e);
        }
        return json;
    }


    public static <T> T convertToObject(Class<T> clazz,String jsonString)
    {
        try {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        return (T)mapper.readValue(jsonString, clazz);
        }catch(Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
}
