Class JSONSerializer

  • public class JSONSerializer
extends java.lang.Object
    Transforms java objects into JSON and back.
    Transformation from java to JSON is pretty straightforward, but the other way around needs certain configuration, otherwise the java objects produced will be DynaBeans and Lists, because the JSON notation does not carry any information on java classes.
