Method Detail

toJson

java.lang.String toJson(java.lang.Object src,
                        java.lang.reflect.Type typeOfSrc)

This method serializes the specified object, including those of generic types, into its equivalent Json representation. This method must be used if the specified object is a generic type. For non-generic objects, use Jolyglot.toJson(Object) instead.

Parameters:

src - the object for which JSON representation is to be created

typeOfSrc - The specific genericized type of src.

Returns:

Json representation of src

fromJson

<T> T fromJson(java.lang.String json,
               java.lang.reflect.Type type)
        throws java.lang.RuntimeException

This method deserializes the specified Json into an object of the specified type. This method is useful if the specified object is a generic type. For non-generic objects, use Jolyglot.fromJson(String, Class) instead. If you have the Json in a File instead of a String, use fromJson(File, Type) instead.

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException

fromJson

<T> T fromJson(java.io.File file,
               java.lang.reflect.Type typeOfT)
        throws java.lang.RuntimeException

This method deserializes the Json read from the specified reader into an object of the specified type. This method is useful if the specified object is a generic type. For non-generic objects, use Jolyglot.fromJson(File, Class) instead. If you have the Json in a String form instead of a File, use fromJson(String, Type) instead.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the desired object

Parameters:

file - the file producing Json from which the object is to be deserialized

typeOfT - The specific genericized type of src.

Returns:

an object of type T from the json.

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException

arrayOf

java.lang.reflect.GenericArrayType arrayOf(java.lang.reflect.Type componentType)

Returns an array type whose elements are all instances of componentType.

newParameterizedType

java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType newParameterizedType(java.lang.reflect.Type rawType,
                                                         java.lang.reflect.Type... typeArguments)

Returns a new parameterized type, applying typeArguments to rawType.
