The Flexjson library is a lightweight Java library for serializing and de-serializing java beans, maps, arrays, and collections in a JSON format. A JSONSerializer is the main class for performing serialization of Java objects to JSON and by default performs a shallow serialization. We can wrap a JSON object using the rootName() method of JSONSerializer class, this method wraps the resulting JSON in a javascript object that contains a single field named rootName.
Syntax
public JSONSerializer rootName(String rootName)
Example
import flexjson.JSONSerializer; public class JSONRootNameTest { public static void main(String[] args) { JSONSerializer serializer = new JSONSerializer().rootName("My_Employee").prettyPrint(true); Employee emp = new Employee("Adithya", "Jai", 28, "Hyderabad"); String jsonStr = serializer.serialize(emp); System.out.println(jsonStr); } } // Employee class class Employee { private String firstName; private String lastName; private int age; private String address; public Employee() {} public Employee(String firstName, String lastName, int age, String address) { super(); this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; this.age = age; this.address = address; } public String getFirstName() { return firstName; } public String getLastName() { return lastName; } public int getAge() { return age; } public String getAddress() { return address; } }
Output
{ "My_Employee": { "address": "Hyderabad", "age": 28, "class": "Employee", "firstName": "Adithya", "lastName": "Jai" } }
