public class JsonLd extends CharMarshaller
A pairing of a JsonLdSerializer and JsonLdParser into a single class with convenience to/of methods.

The general idea is to combine a single serializer and parser inside a simplified API for serializing and parsing POJOs.

Examples:

// Using instance. JsonLd jsonLd = new JsonLd(); MyPojo myPojo = jsonLd.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = jsonLd.write(myPojo);

// Using DEFAULT instance. MyPojo myPojo = JsonLd.DEFAULT.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = JsonLd.DEFAULT.write(myPojo);

Example output (bean with name/age, JSON-LD format):

{ "@context": {...}, "@id": "...", "@type": "Person", "name": "Alice", "age": 30 }

Complex (nested address + array):

{ "@context": {...}, "@id": "...", "@type": "Person", "name": "Alice", "age": 30, "address": { "@id": ".../address", "street": "123 Main St", "city": "Boston", "state": "MA" }, "tags": ["a","b","c"] }

// Using static shortcuts. MyPojo myPojo = JsonLd.to(string, MyPojo.class); String string = JsonLd.of(myPojo);

      public static String of(Object object) throws SerializeException
      Serializes a POJO to a String using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.write(object).

      Parameters:
      object - The object to serialize.
      Returns:
      The serialized object.
      Throws:
      SerializeException - If a problem occurred trying to convert the output.

      public static <T> T to(String input, Class<T> type) throws ParseException
      Parses an input into the specified object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type).

      Type Parameters:
      T - The class type of the object being created.
      Parameters:
      input - The input.
      type - The object type to create.
      Returns:
      The parsed object.
      Throws:
      ParseException - Malformed input encountered.
    • to

      public static <T> T to(String input, Type type, Type... args) throws ParseException
      Parses an input into the specified parameterized object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type, args).

      Type Parameters:
      T - The class type of the object to create.
      Parameters:
      input - The input.
      type - The object type to create.
      args - The type arguments of the class if it's a collection or map.
      Returns:
      The parsed object.
      Throws:
      ParseException - Malformed input encountered.
