Method Summary

Method Detail

toJson

String toJson(Object src)

This method serializes the specified object into its equivalent JSON representation. This method should be used when the specified object is not a generic type. This method uses Object.getClass() to get the type for the specified object, but the getClass() loses the generic type information because of the Type Erasure feature of Java. Note that this method works fine if the any of the object fields are of generic type, just the object itself should not be of a generic type. If the object is of generic type, use toJson(Object, Type) instead.

Parameters:

src - the object for which JSON representation is to be created

Returns:

the JSON representation of src

toJson

String toJson(Object src,
              Type typeOfSrc)

This method serializes the specified object, including those of generic types, into its equivalent JSON representation. This method must be used if the specified object is a generic type. For non-generic objects, use toJson(Object) instead.

Parameters:

src - the object for which JSON representation is to be created

typeOfSrc - the specific genericized type of src

Returns:

the JSON representation of src
