All Implemented Interfaces:: Closeable, AutoCloseable

public abstract class JsonReader
extends Object
implements Closeable

Reads a JSON (RFC 7159) encoded value as a stream of tokens. This stream includes both literal values (strings, numbers, booleans, and nulls) as well as the begin and end delimiters of objects and arrays. The tokens are traversed in depth-first order, the same order that they appear in the JSON document. Within JSON objects, name/value pairs are represented by a single token.

Parsing JSON

To create a recursive descent parser for your own JSON streams, first create an entry point method that creates a JsonReader.

Next, create handler methods for each structure in your JSON text. You'll need a method for each object type and for each array type.

Within array handling methods, first call beginArray() to consume the array's opening bracket. Then create a while loop that accumulates values, terminating when hasNext() is false. Finally, read the array's closing bracket by calling endArray().
Within object handling methods, first call beginObject() to consume the object's opening brace. Then create a while loop that assigns values to local variables based on their name. This loop should terminate when hasNext() is false. Finally, read the object's closing brace by calling endObject().

When a nested object or array is encountered, delegate to the corresponding handler method.

When an unknown name is encountered, strict parsers should fail with an exception. Lenient parsers should call skipValue() to recursively skip the value's nested tokens, which may otherwise conflict.

If a value may be null, you should first check using peek(). Null literals can be consumed using skipValue().

Example

Suppose we'd like to parse a stream of messages such as the following:

 
 [
   {
     "id": 912345678901,
     "text": "How do I read a JSON stream in Java?",
     "geo": null,
     "user": {
       "name": "json_newb",
       "followers_count": 41
      }
   },
   {
     "id": 912345678902,
     "text": "@json_newb just use JsonReader!",
     "geo": [50.454722, -104.606667],
     "user": {
       "name": "jesse",
       "followers_count": 2
     }
   }
 ]

This code implements the parser for the above structure:

   

   public List<Message> readJsonStream(BufferedSource source) throws IOException {
     JsonReader reader = JsonReader.of(source);
     try {
       return readMessagesArray(reader);
     } finally {
       reader.close();
     }
   }

   public List<Message> readMessagesArray(JsonReader reader) throws IOException {
     List<Message> messages = new ArrayList<Message>();

     reader.beginArray();
     while (reader.hasNext()) {
       messages.add(readMessage(reader));
     }
     reader.endArray();
     return messages;
   }

   public Message readMessage(JsonReader reader) throws IOException {
     long id = -1;
     String text = null;
     User user = null;
     List<Double> geo = null;

     reader.beginObject();
     while (reader.hasNext()) {
       String name = reader.nextName();
       if (name.equals("id")) {
         id = reader.nextLong();
       } else if (name.equals("text")) {
         text = reader.nextString();
       } else if (name.equals("geo") && reader.peek() != Token.NULL) {
         geo = readDoublesArray(reader);
       } else if (name.equals("user")) {
         user = readUser(reader);
       } else {
         reader.skipValue();
       }
     }
     reader.endObject();
     return new Message(id, text, user, geo);
   }

   public List<Double> readDoublesArray(JsonReader reader) throws IOException {
     List<Double> doubles = new ArrayList<Double>();

     reader.beginArray();
     while (reader.hasNext()) {
       doubles.add(reader.nextDouble());
     }
     reader.endArray();
     return doubles;
   }

   public User readUser(JsonReader reader) throws IOException {
     String username = null;
     int followersCount = -1;

     reader.beginObject();
     while (reader.hasNext()) {
       String name = reader.nextName();
       if (name.equals("name")) {
         username = reader.nextString();
       } else if (name.equals("followers_count")) {
         followersCount = reader.nextInt();
       } else {
         reader.skipValue();
       }
     }
     reader.endObject();
     return new User(username, followersCount);
   }

Number Handling

This reader permits numeric values to be read as strings and string values to be read as numbers. For example, both elements of the JSON array


 [1, "1"]

may be read using either nextInt() or nextString(). This behavior is intended to prevent lossy numeric conversions: double is JavaScript's only numeric type and very large values like


 9007199254740993

cannot be represented exactly on that platform. To minimize precision loss, extremely large values should be written and read as strings in JSON.

Each JsonReader may be used to read a single JSON stream. Instances of this class are not thread safe.
