Method Details

writeArray

public final JsonWriter writeArray(T[] array, WriteValueCallback elementWriterFunc)

Writes a JSON array.

This API will begin by writing the start array ([) followed by all elements in the array using the elementWriterFunc and finishing by writing the end array (]).

If an element in the array is null, NULL will be written for that element. If null elements should be excluded from serialization use #writeArray(Object[], WriteValueCallback, boolean) and pass true for skipNullElements.

If array is null NULL will be written.

This API is used instead of #writeArrayField(String, Object[], WriteValueCallback) when the value needs to be written to the root of the JSON value, as an element in an array, or after a call to writeFieldName(String fieldName).

Parameters:

array - The array being written.
elementWriterFunc - The function that writes each element of the array.

Returns:

The updated JsonWriter object.

Throws:

IOException

- If elementWriterFunc is null.

writeArray

public JsonWriter writeArray(T[] array, WriteValueCallback elementWriterFunc, boolean skipNullElements)

Writes a JSON array.

This API will begin by writing the start array ([) followed by all elements in the array using the elementWriterFunc and finishing by writing the end array (]).

If an element in the array is null, NULL will be written for that element if skipNullElements is false. If skipNullElements is true, null elements will be excluded from serialization.

If array is null NULL will be written.

This API is used instead of #writeArrayField(String, Object[], WriteValueCallback, boolean) when the value needs to be written to the root of the JSON value, as an element in an array, or after a call to writeFieldName(String fieldName).

Parameters:

array - The array being written.

- If value is null.

writeStartArray

public abstract JsonWriter writeStartArray()

Writes a JSON start array ([).

Returns:

The updated JsonWriter object.

Throws:

IOException

- If JSON start array fails to be written.

writeStartArray

public final JsonWriter writeStartArray(String fieldName)

Writes a JSON start array ([) with a preceding field name.

This API is the equivalent of calling writeFieldName(String fieldName) and writeStartArray(), in that order.

Parameters:

fieldName - The field name.

Returns:

The updated JsonWriter object.

Throws:

IOException

- If fieldName is null.

writeStartObject

public abstract JsonWriter writeStartObject()

Writes a JSON start object ({).

Returns:

The updated JsonWriter object.

Throws:

IOException

- If JSON start object fails to be written.

writeStartObject

public final JsonWriter writeStartObject(String fieldName)

Writes a JSON start object ({) with a preceding field name.

This API is the equivalent of calling writeFieldName(String fieldName) and writeStartObject(), in that order.

Parameters:

fieldName - The field name.

Returns:

The updated JsonWriter object.

Throws:

IOException

- If fieldName is null.

writeString

public abstract JsonWriter writeString(String value)

Writes a JSON String value.

If value is null NULL will be written.

This API is used instead of writeStringField(String fieldName, String value) when the value needs to be written to the root of the JSON value, as an element in an array, or after a call to writeFieldName(String fieldName).

Parameters:

value - String value to write.

Returns:

The updated JsonWriter object.

Throws:

IOException

- If the String value fails to be written.

writeStringField

public final JsonWriter writeStringField(String fieldName, String value)

Writes a JSON String field.

Combines writeFieldName(String fieldName) and writeString(String value) to simplify adding a key-value to a JSON object.

The field is only written when value isn't null, if a null field needs to be written use #writeNullableField(String, Object, WriteValueCallback).

Parameters:

fieldName - The field name.
value - String value to write.

Returns:

The updated JsonWriter object.

Throws:

IOException

- If fieldName is null.

writeUntyped

public JsonWriter writeUntyped(Object value)

Writes the unknown type value.

The following is how each value is handled (in this order):

Parameters:

value - The value to write.

public JsonWriter writeUntypedField(String fieldName, Object value)

Writes the unknown type value field.

The following is how each value is handled (in this order):
