How can you generate a JSON sample with dummy data from a Java class definition? (Note: I am not asking about generating JSON from a POJO. This is something that has been asked before on stackoverflow).
What I want is to generate some sample dummy data from a Java class directly. For example you have a class like this one:
public class Reservation {
@ApiModelProperty(value = "")
private Traveller leadTraveller = null;
@ApiModelProperty(example = "2", value = "")
private Integer sourceSystemID = null;
@ApiModelProperty(value = "")
private String recordLocation = null;
@ApiModelProperty(example = "2010", value = "")
private Integer recordLocatorYear = null;
}
And then you have a function which generates without creating a POJO a JSON string with dummy values like:
{
"leadTraveller": {
"firstNames": "firstNames",
"lastName": "lastName",
"email": "email",
"travellerGUID": "travellerGUID",
"travellerRefs": [{
"customerReportingRank": 37,
"value": "value",
"description": "description"
}]
},
"sourceSystemID": 38,
"recordLocation": "recordLocation",
"recordLocatorYear": 9
}
Is there a library which can do this by default?
I have tried to solve this problem using Java code with these Maven dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>fctg-ngrp</groupId>
<artifactId>model-core</artifactId>
<version>1.0.4-SNAPSHOT-MODEL-CORE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.vavr</groupId>
<artifactId>vavr</artifactId>
<version>0.9.2</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Jackson is mainly used for verifying and formatting the output JSON.
Below is the Java code I used:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

thanks @gil.fernandes, I have used your code with small modifications.
1) allow the same type multiple times but keep visited count to 100 to prevent infinite loops. I supposed your use case was different.
2) added java.util.Date and Enum.
3) print dummy values as the simple name of the class. In the case of enum print out "String of " and a list of its values.

You can try this code: this will use gson lib to translate a object o json string
public static <T> String convertObjectToJSONString(Object obj) {
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().serializeNulls().create();
if (obj == null) {
return null;
}
return gson.toJson(obj);
}
