Method Detail

encodeStringMap

public static String encodeStringMap(Map<String,String> data)

Encodes string map as a JSON object. Map is encoded as an array of entries, naturally ordered by key as a property. For example map {"hello" : "world", "hey" : "baby"} is encoded as [{"key" : "hello", "value" : "world"}, {"key" : "hey", "value" : "baby"}]. This allows any form of key to be captured.

Parameters:

data - data

Returns:

encoded string

encodeSimpleStringMap

public static String encodeSimpleStringMap(Map<String,String> data)

Encodes string map as a JSON object in the simple way. Map is encoded as it is. For example {"hello" : "world", "hey" : "baby"}. This method provides more compact result with precondition that the format of the keys doesn't break any convention. For example in some systems it might cause troubles to have a key of the property style format like "items[0].size".

Parameters:

data - data

Returns:

encoded string

decodeStringMap

public static Map<String,String> decodeStringMap(String data)

Decodes string map from the JSON object. Accepts both type of strings - map encoded as an array and as a simple format.

Parameters:

data - data

Returns:

decoded map

encodeStringList

public static String encodeStringList(List<String> data)

Parameters:

data - data

decodeStringList

public static List<String> decodeStringList(String data)
