Method Detail

convertToJavaIdentifier

public static String convertToJavaIdentifier(String key)

Transformes the string into a valid Java Identifier.
The default strategy is JavaIdentifierTransformer.NOOP

Throws:

JSONException - if the string can not be transformed.

doubleToString

public static String doubleToString(double d)

Produce a string from a double. The string "null" will be returned if the number is not finite.

Parameters:

d - A double.

Returns:

A String.

getFunctionParams

public static String getFunctionParams(String function)

Returns the params of a function literal.

getInnerComponentType

public static Class getInnerComponentType(Class type)

Returns the inner-most component type of an Array.

getJavaIdentifierTransformer

public static JavaIdentifierTransformer getJavaIdentifierTransformer()

Deprecated. use JsonConfig.getJavaIdentifierTransformer

Returns the JavaIdentifierTransformer strategy currently configured.
Default value is JavaIdentifierTransformer.NOOP;

getMorpherRegistry

public static MorpherRegistry getMorpherRegistry()

Returns the singleton MorpherRegistry.

getProperties

public static Map getProperties(JSONObject jsonObject)

Creates a Map with all the properties of the JSONObject.

getTypeClass

public static Class getTypeClass(Object obj)

Returns the JSON type.
Values are Object, String, Boolean, Number(subclasses) & JSONFunction.

hashCode

public static int hashCode(Object value)

Returns the hashcode of value.
If null it will return JSONNull.getInstance().hashCode().
If value is JSON, JSONFunction or String, value.hashCode is returned, otherwise the value is transformed to a String an its hashcode is returned.

isArray

public static boolean isArray(Class clazz)

Tests if a Class represents an array or Collection.

isArray

public static boolean isArray(Object obj)

Tests if obj is an array or Collection.

isBoolean

public static boolean isBoolean(Class clazz)

Tests if Class represents a Boolean or primitive boolean

isBoolean

public static boolean isBoolean(Object obj)

Tests if obj is a Boolean or primitive boolean

isDouble

public static boolean isDouble(Class clazz)

Tests if Class represents a primitive double or wrapper.

isFunction

public static boolean isFunction(Object obj)

Tests if obj is javaScript function.
Obj must be a non-null String and match "^function[ ]?\\(.\*\)[ ]?\\{.\*\}$"

isFunctionHeader

public static boolean isFunctionHeader(Object obj)

Tests if obj is javaScript function header.
Obj must be a non-null String and match "^function[ ]?\\(.\*\)$"

isJavaIdentifier

public static boolean isJavaIdentifier(String str)

Returns trus if str represents a valid Java identifier.

isNull

public static boolean isNull(Object obj)

Tests if the obj is a javaScript null.

isNumber

public static boolean isNumber(Class clazz)

Tests if Class represents a primitive number or wrapper.

isNumber

public static boolean isNumber(Object obj)

Tests if obj is a primitive number or wrapper.

isObject

public static boolean isObject(Object obj)

Tests if obj is not a boolean, number, string or array.

isString

public static boolean isString(Class clazz)

Tests if Class represents a String or a char

isString

public static boolean isString(Object obj)

Tests if obj is a String or a char

mayBeJSON

public static boolean mayBeJSON(String string)

Tests if the String possibly represents a valid JSON String.
Valid JSON strings are:

• "null"
• starts with "[" and ends with "]"
• starts with "{" and ends with "}"

newDynaBean

public static DynaBean newDynaBean(JSONObject jsonObject)

Creates a new MorphDynaBean from a JSONObject. The MorphDynaBean will have all the properties of the original JSONObject with the most accurate type. Values of properties are not copied.

numberToString

public static String numberToString(Number n)

Produce a string from a Number.

Parameters:

n - A Number

Returns:

A String.

Throws:

JSONException - If n is a non-finite number.

quote

public static String quote(String string)

Produce a string in double quotes with backslash sequences in all the right places. A backslash will be inserted within CAUTION: if string represents a javascript function, translation of characters will not take place. This will produce a non-conformant JSON text.

Parameters:

string - A String

Returns:

A String correctly formatted for insertion in a JSON text.

setJavaIdentifierTransformer

public static void setJavaIdentifierTransformer(JavaIdentifierTransformer javaIdentifierTransformer)

Deprecated. use JsonConfig.setJavaIdentifierTransformer

Sets the JavaIdentifierTransformer strategy to use.
If the parameter is null, JavaIdentifierTransformer.NOOP will be used instead.

stripQuotes

public static String stripQuotes(String input)

Strips any single-quotes or double-quotes from boths sides of the string.

testValidity

public static void testValidity(Object o)

Throw an exception if the object is an NaN or infinite number.

Parameters:

o - The object to test.

Throws:

JSONException - If o is a non-finite number.

transformNumber

public static Number transformNumber(Number input)

Transforms a Number into a valid javascript number.
Float gets promoted to Double.
Byte and Short get promoted to Integer.
Long gets downgraded to Integer if possible.

valueToString

public static String valueToString(Object value)

Make a JSON text of an Object value. If the object has an value.toJSONString() method, then that method will be used to produce the JSON text. The method is required to produce a strictly conforming text. If the object does not contain a toJSONString method (which is the most common case), then a text will be produced by the rules.

Warning: This method assumes that the data structure is acyclical.

Parameters:

value - The value to be serialized.

Returns:

a printable, displayable, transmittable representation of the object, beginning with { (left brace) and ending with } (right brace).

Throws:

JSONException - If the value is or contains an invalid number.

valueToString

public static String valueToString(Object value,
                                   int indentFactor,
                                   int indent)

Make a prettyprinted JSON text of an object value.

Warning: This method assumes that the data structure is acyclical.

Parameters:

value - The value to be serialized.

indentFactor - The number of spaces to add to each level of indentation.

indent - The indentation of the top level.

Returns:

a printable, displayable, transmittable representation of the object, beginning with { (left brace) and ending with } (right brace).

Throws:

JSONException - If the object contains an invalid number.
