Get to Know Custom Serializers and Deserializers: JSON Binding Overview Series @JavaEE @Java #JavaEE #JavaEE8 #JSONB #Java_EE

The most advanced way to customize JSON Binding is with custom serializers and deserializers.

JSON-B serializers and deserializers are the lowest level of customisation available and give access to the JSON Processing parsers and generators.

A custom serializer must implement the JsonbSerializer interface and provide logic for the serialise()method. This code shows a simple example of how to…

Get to Know Adapters: JSON Binding Overview Series @JavaEE @Java #JavaEE #JavaEE8 #JSONB

An adapter configures custom object creation and serialization by implementing the JsonbAdapter interface. The methods adaptToJson() and adaptFromJson() are overwritten with logic that performs the serialization and deserialization operation.

The next article is about the most advanced way to customize JSON-B with custom serializers and deserializers.

In the example implementation here, the adapt…

Get to Know Custom Object Creation: JSON Binding Overview Series @JavaEE @Java #Java_EE #JavaEE #JavaEE8 #JSONB

Let’s take a look at how JSON Binding handles custom object creation.

Next article in this series covers customization of JSON-B with adapters.

JSON-B expects all classes to have a public no-argument constructor, which it uses during deserialization to instantiate the target class. Once the instance is created, it is populated with data from the JSON document by calling the appropriate setter…

Get to Know Customisation: JSON Binding Overview Series @JavaEE @Java #Java_EE #JSONB #JavaEE8

Let’s take a look at how the annotation model and runtime configuration work when customizing the JSON Binding serialization and deserialization processes.

Next article in this series covers how JSON-B handles custom object creation.

Annotation Method

Using the annotation method, it’s possible to customize the default serialization and deserialization behavior by annotating fields, JavaBean…

Get to Know JSON Binding: Overview Series @Java_EE @Java #JavaEE #Java #JSON #JSONB #JavaEE8

The Java API for JSON Binding (JSON-B) 1.0 strengthens the Java EE platform’s overall support for the JSON data interchange format. Already, the Java API for JSON Processing (JSON-P) 1.1 has proved popular and together they form the perfect partners that fill a long-standing shortcoming in Java EE’s JSON capacity.

Next article in this series covers the customization of JSON Binding operations.

JSON-B 1.0 Challenge #100DaysOfJavaEE8. Given an instance of the Book class and the JSON Binding code shown, which of the four JSON document is produced?

JSON-B 1.0 Challenge

JSON Binding allows fine grain control over the order in which JSON properties appear. Runtime and compile customisation can be used to control this features.

Given an instance of the Book class and the JSON Binding code below, which of the four JSON document is produced?

Answer

The JSON document produced is 2: It follows the order specified in the  @JsonbPropertyOrder annot…
