↳ | org.json.JSONStringer |
JSONStringer provides a quick and convenient way of producing JSON text. The texts produced strictly conform to JSON syntax rules. No whitespace is added, so the results are ready for transmission or storage. Each instance of JSONStringer can produce one JSON text.
A JSONStringer instance provides a value
method for appending
values to the
text, and a key
method for adding keys before values in objects. There are array
and endArray
methods that make and bound array values, and
object
and endObject
methods which make and bound
object values. All of these methods return the JSONStringer instance,
permitting cascade style. For example,
myString = new JSONStringer() .object() .key("JSON").value("Hello, World!") .endObject() .toString();which produces the string
{"JSON":"Hello, World!"}
The first method called must be array
or object
.
There are no methods for adding commas or colons. JSONStringer adds them for
you. Objects and arrays can be nested up to 20 levels deep.
This can sometimes be easier than using a JSONObject to build a string.

From class java.lang.Object

Make a fresh JSONStringer. It can be used to build one JSON text.
Begin appending a new array. All values until the balancing
endArray
will be appended to this array. The
endArray
method must be called to mark the array's end.
JSONException | If the nesting is too deep, or if the object is started in the wrong place (for example as a key or after the end of the outermost array or object). |
---|
End an array. This method most be called to balance calls to
array
.
JSONException | If incorrectly nested. |
---|
End an object. This method most be called to balance calls to
object
.
JSONException | If incorrectly nested. |
---|
Append a key. The key will be associated with the next value. In an object, every value must be preceded by a key.
s | A key string. |
---|
JSONException | If the key is out of place. For example, keys do not belong in arrays or if the key is null. |
---|
Begin appending a new object. All keys and values until the balancing
endObject
will be appended to this object. The
endObject
method must be called to mark the object's end.
JSONException | If the nesting is too deep, or if the object is started in the wrong place (for example as a key or after the end of the outermost array or object). |
---|
Return the JSON text. This method is used to obtain the product of the
JSONStringer instance. It will return null
if there was a
problem in the construction of the JSON text (such as the calls to
array
were not properly balanced with calls to
endArray
).
Append an object value.
o | The object to append. It can be null, or a Boolean, Number, String, JSONObject, or JSONArray. |
---|
JSONException | If the value is out of sequence. |
---|
Append a double value.
d | A double. |
---|
JSONException | If the number is not finite. |
---|
Append either the value true
or the value
false
.
b | A boolean. |
