Java JsonRawValue-class And Method Code Example
Here is an example of how to use the JsonRawValue class from the Apache Commons IO library to serialize a POJO to JSON and include a raw JSON value within it:
import org.apache.commons.io.output.JsonStringEncoder;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
public class Example {
public static class MyPojo {
private String name;
@JsonSerialize(using = JsonRawValueSerializer.class)
private String jsonData;
// getters and setters
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
MyPojo pojo = new MyPojo();
pojo.setName("John Doe");
pojo.setJsonData("{\"key\":\"value\"}");
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String json = mapper.writeValueAsString(pojo);
System.out.println(json);
}
public static class JsonRawValueSerializer extends JsonSerializer<String> {
@Override
public void serialize(String value, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider serializers) throws IOException {
gen.writeRawValue(value, JsonStringEncoder.getInstance());
}
}
}
This will output the following JSON:
{
"name": "John Doe",
"jsonData": {"key":"value"}
}
Note: This is using the Jackson JSON library to serialize the POJO to JSON. You need to have the jackson-databind jar in your classpath for this to work.
