Library for reading and writing JSON in Codename One

Codename One JSON Library

A library to read and write JSON in Codename One

Synopsis

This library is a port of this J2ME JSON library so that it can be used in Codename One. Only minor changes have been made in order to improve performance.

Codename One already includes a JSON parser, so why package up another library? One reason is for pure variety. The interface of this library is different than the built-in CN1 parser and this might be preferrable to some. Another reason is that it is easy to use this library outside of Codename One. If I'm writing code that I want to reuse in CN1 and other Java environments, I might choose to use this library for portability.

Usage Examples

        JSONObject index = new JSONObject(myJSONString);
        tour.setTourId(index.getInt("tour_id"));
        tour.setName(index.getString("tour_name"));
        
        JSONArray dests = index.getJSONArray("destinations");
        Map<String,SoundFile> audioFileIndex = new HashMap<String,SoundFile>();
        for ( int i=0; i<dests.length(); i++){
            JSONObject dest = dests.getJSONObject(i);
            PointOfInterest poi = new PointOfInterest();
            poi.setId(dest.getInt("tour_destination_id"));
            poi.setName(dest.getString("destination_name"));
            poi.setDescription(dest.getString("destination_description"));
            
            SoundFile sf = new SoundFile();
            sf.setStorageKey("poi:"+poi.getId());
            sf.setMimetype(dest.getString("audio_file_mimetype"));
            poi.setSoundFile(sf);
            audioFileIndex.put(dest.getString("audio_file"), sf);
            tour.addPointOfInterest(poi);
            
        }
