Web技术发展的今天，Json和XML已经成为了web数据的事实标准，然而这种格式化的数据手工解析又非常麻烦，软件工程界永远不缺少工具，每当有需求的时候就会出现各种类库，框架以及工具来解决这些基础的问题，Jackson就是这些工具中的一个，使用这个工具开发者完全可以从手工结束Json数据的重复劳动中解放出来。使用Jackson首先需要下载相应的类库，如下的Maven dependency列出了完整的POM dependency。
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>${jackson-2-version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Just the annotations; use this dependency if you want to attach annotations
to classes without connecting them to the code. -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
<version>${jackson-2-version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- databinding; ObjectMapper, JsonNode and related classes are here -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>${jackson-2-version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- smile (binary JSON). Other artifacts in this group do other formats. -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-dataformat-smile</artifactId>
<version>${jackson-2-version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- JAX-RS provider -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-jaxrs-json-provider</artifactId>
<version>${jackson-2-version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Support for JAX-B annotations as additional configuration -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.module</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-module-jaxb-annotations</artifactId>
<version>${jackson-2-version}</version>
</dependency>
比如我们需要解析的Json数据如下：
{
"id": 123,
"name": "Pankaj",
"permanent": true,
"address": {
"street": "Albany Dr",
"city": "San Jose",
"zipcode": 95129
},
"phoneNumbers": [
123456,
],
"role": "Manager",
"cities": [
"Los Angeles",
"New York"
],
"properties": {
"age": "29 years",
"salary": "1000 USD"
}
}
对应的Model Class 如下：
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
public class Employee {
private int id;
private String name;
private boolean permanent;
private Address address;
private long[] phoneNumbers;
private String role;
private List<String> cities;
private Map<String, String> properties;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public boolean isPermanent() {
return permanent;
}
public void setPermanent(boolean permanent) {
this.permanent = permanent;
}
public Address getAddress() {
return address;
}
public void setAddress(Address address) {
this.address = address;
}
public long[] getPhoneNumbers() {
return phoneNumbers;
}
public void setPhoneNumbers(long[] phoneNumbers) {
this.phoneNumbers = phoneNumbers;
}
public String getRole() {
return role;
}
public void setRole(String role) {
this.role = role;
}
@Override
public String toString(){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("***** Employee Details *****\n");
sb.append("ID="+getId()+"\n");
sb.append("Name="+getName()+"\n");
sb.append("Permanent="+isPermanent()+"\n");
sb.append("Role="+getRole()+"\n");
sb.append("Phone Numbers="+Arrays.toString(getPhoneNumbers())+"\n");
sb.append("Address="+getAddress()+"\n");
sb.append("Cities="+Arrays.toString(getCities().toArray())+"\n");
sb.append("Properties="+getProperties()+"\n");
sb.append("*****************************");
return sb.toString();
}
public List<String> getCities() {
return cities;
}
public void setCities(List<String> cities) {
this.cities = cities;
}
public Map<String, String> getProperties() {
return properties;
}
public void setProperties(Map<String, String> properties) {
this.properties = properties;
}
}
当我们需要操作Json数据的时候，如下代码示范了如何将Json数据反序列化为对象以及如何将对象序列化为Json数据。
