POJO object to JSON Object conversion in java

Srikanth Janapati :

My requirement is needed to convert POJO OR DTO Object into JSON Format, I have used below methodology

JsonObject obj = gson.toJsonTree(pojo class).getAsJsonObject();
for (String key: obj.keySet()) {
    System.out.println(" key is " + key + " value  is " + obj.get(key));
}

But with this i am getting key data as string(eg:"employee"), so if i insert this data in database it inserting with double quotes("employee") only.

You can do it easily by using third party libraries like Jackson or Gson to serialize and deserialize objects.

Jackson: Reference code snippet:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
User user = new User();

//Object to JSON in file
mapper.writeValue(new File("c:\\user.json"), user);

//Object to JSON in String
String jsonInString = mapper.writeValueAsString(user);

You can find detailed info from here

Gson: Reference code snippet

User user = new User();
Gson gson = new Gson();

// Object to JSON in String
String json = gson.toJson(object_need);

For detailed usages as reference:

• Jackson
• Gson

But it seems like the main problem here is you have a problem at inserting the serialized data to DB and to solve that you need to give more information about the issue.
