Package net.minidev.json.actions

Class PathsRetainer

java.lang.Object

net.minidev.json.actions.PathsRetainer

public class PathsRetainer
extends Object

Retains branches of nodes of a JSONObject matching the list of user-specified paths.

A path to copy must be specified in the n-gram format - a list of keys from the root down separated by dots: K0[[[[.K1].K2].K3]...]
A key to the right of a dot is a direct child of a key to the left of a dot. Keys with a dot in their name are not supported.

Example:

to retain the field k1.k2 in the JSONObject {k1:{k2:v1}, k3:{k4:v2}} instantiate the retainer like so: new JSONObjectCleaner("k1.k2") The resulting object would be {k1:{k2:v1}}

See unit tests in JSONObjectRetainerTest for more examples
