All Implemented Interfaces:: JsonWriter

public class DefaultJsonWriter
extends Object
implements JsonWriter

Writes a JSON (RFC 4627) encoded value to a stream, one token at a time. The stream includes both literal values (strings, numbers, booleans and nulls) as well as the begin and end delimiters of objects and arrays.

Encoding JSON

To encode your data as JSON, create a new JsonWriter. Each JSON document must contain one top-level array or object. Call methods on the writer as you walk the structure's contents, nesting arrays and objects as necessary:

To write arrays, first call beginArray(). Write each of the array's elements with the appropriate value(java.lang.String) methods or by nesting other arrays and objects. Finally close the array using endArray().
To write objects, first call beginObject(). Write each of the object's properties by alternating calls to name(java.lang.String) with the property's value. Write property values with the appropriate value(java.lang.String) method or by nesting other objects or arrays. Finally close the object using endObject().

Example

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

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

This code encodes the above structure:

   public void writeJsonStream(OutputStream out, List<Message> messages) {
     JsonWriter writer = new JsonWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8"));
     writer.setIndentSpaces(4);
     writeMessagesArray(writer, messages);
     writer.close();
   }

   public void writeMessagesArray(JsonWriter writer, List<Message> messages) {
     writer.beginArray();
     for (Message message : messages) {
       writeMessage(writer, message);
     }
     writer.endArray();
   }

   public void writeMessage(JsonWriter writer, Message message) {
     writer.beginObject();
     writer.name("id").value(message.getId());
     writer.name("text").value(message.getText());
     if (message.getGeo() != null) {
       writer.name("geo");
       writeDoublesArray(writer, message.getGeo());
     } else {
       writer.name("geo").nullValue();
     }
     writer.name("user");
     writeUser(writer, message.getUser());
     writer.endObject();
   }

   public void writeUser(JsonWriter writer, User user) {
     writer.beginObject();
     writer.name("name").value(user.getName());
     writer.name("followers_count").value(user.getFollowersCount());
     writer.endObject();
   }

   public void writeDoublesArray(JsonWriter writer, List<Double> doubles) {
     writer.beginArray();
     for (Double value : doubles) {
       writer.value(value);
     }
     writer.endArray();
   }

Each JsonWriter may be used to write a single JSON stream. Instances of this class are not thread safe. Calls that would result in a malformed JSON string will fail with an IllegalStateException.

  - setIndent
```
public final void setIndent(String indent)
```
    Description copied from interface: JsonWriter
    
    Sets the indentation string to be repeated for each level of indentation in the encoded document. If indent.isEmpty() the encoded document will be compact. Otherwise the encoded document will be more human-readable.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setIndent in interface JsonWriter

```
    Description copied from interface: JsonWriter
    Configure this writer to relax its syntax rules. By default, this writer only emits well-formed JSON as specified by RFC 4627. Setting the writer to lenient permits the following:
    - Top-level values of any type. With strict writing, the top-level value must be an object or an array.
    - Numbers may be NaNs or infinities.
