All Implemented Interfaces:: Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

Direct Known Subclasses:: JsonTreeWriter

public class JsonWriter
extends Object
implements Closeable, Flushable

Writes a JSON (RFC 7159) encoded value to a stream, one token at a time. The stream includes both literal values (strings, numbers, booleans and nulls) as well as the begin and end delimiters of objects and arrays.

Encoding JSON

To encode your data as JSON, create a new JsonWriter. Each JSON document must contain one top-level array or object. Call methods on the writer as you walk the structure's contents, nesting arrays and objects as necessary:

To write arrays, first call beginArray(). Write each of the array's elements with the appropriate #changer methods or by nesting other arrays and objects. Finally close the array using endArray().
To write objects, first call beginObject(). Write each of the object's properties by alternating calls to name(java.lang.String) with the property's value. Write property values with the appropriate #changer method or by nesting other objects or arrays. Finally close the object using endObject().

Example

Suppose we'd like to encode a stream of messages such as the following:

  
 [
   {
     "id": 912345678901,
     "text": "How do I stream JSON in Java?",
     "geo": null,
     "user": {
       "name": "json_newb",
       "followers_count": 41
      }
   },
   {
     "id": 912345678902,
     "text": "@json_newb just use JsonWriter!",
     "geo": [50.454722, -104.606667],
     "user": {
       "name": "jesse",
       "followers_count": 2
     }
   }
 ]

This code encodes the above structure:

    
   public void writeJsonStream(OutputStream out, List<Message> messages) throws IOException {
     JsonWriter writer = new JsonWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8"));
     writer.setIndent("    ");
     writeMessagesArray(writer, messages);
     writer.close();
   }

   public void writeMessagesArray(JsonWriter writer, List<Message> messages) throws IOException {
     writer.beginArray();
     for (Message message : messages) {
       writeMessage(writer, message);
     }
     writer.endArray();
   }

   public void writeMessage(JsonWriter writer, Message message) throws IOException {
     writer.beginObject();
     writer.name("id").value(message.getId());
     writer.name("text").value(message.getText());
     if (message.getGeo() != null) {
       writer.name("geo");
       writeDoublesArray(writer, message.getGeo());
     } else {
       writer.name("geo").nullValue();
     }
     writer.name("user");
     writeUser(writer, message.getUser());
     writer.endObject();
   }

   public void writeUser(JsonWriter writer, User user) throws IOException {
     writer.beginObject();
     writer.name("name").value(user.getName());
     writer.name("followers_count").value(user.getFollowersCount());
     writer.endObject();
   }

   public void writeDoublesArray(JsonWriter writer, List<Double> doubles) throws IOException {
     writer.beginArray();
     for (Double value : doubles) {
       writer.value(value);
     }
     writer.endArray();
   }

Each JsonWriter may be used to write a single JSON stream. Instances of this class are not thread safe. Calls that would result in a malformed JSON string will fail with an IllegalStateException.

- Constructor Detail
  - JsonWriter
```
public JsonWriter(Writer out)
```
    Creates a new instance that writes a JSON-encoded stream to out. For best performance, ensure Writer is buffered; wrapping in BufferedWriter if necessary.
- Method Detail
  - setIndent
```
public final void setIndent(String indent)
```
    Sets the indentation string to be repeated for each level of indentation in the encoded document. If indent.isEmpty() the encoded document will be compact. Otherwise the encoded document will be more human-readable.
    
    Parameters:
    
    indent - a string containing only whitespace.
  - isLenient
```
public boolean isLenient()
```
    Returns true if this writer has relaxed syntax rules.
  - setLenient
```
public final void setLenient(boolean lenient)
```
    Configure this writer to relax its syntax rules. By default, this writer only emits well-formed JSON as specified by RFC 7159. Setting the writer to lenient permits the following:
    - Top-level values of any type. With strict writing, the top-level value must be an object or an array.
    - Numbers may be NaNs or infinities.
  - isHtmlSafe
```
public final boolean isHtmlSafe()
```
    Returns true if this writer writes JSON that's safe for inclusion in HTML and XML documents.
  - setHtmlSafe
```
public final void setHtmlSafe(boolean htmlSafe)
```
    Configure this writer to emit JSON that's safe for direct inclusion in HTML and XML documents. This escapes the HTML characters <, >, & and = before writing them to the stream. Without this setting, your XML/HTML encoder should replace these characters with the corresponding escape sequences.
  - getSerializeNulls
```
public final boolean getSerializeNulls()
```
    Returns true if object members are serialized when their value is null. This has no impact on array elements. The default is true.
  - setSerializeNulls
```
public final void setSerializeNulls(boolean serializeNulls)
```
    Sets whether object members are serialized when their value is null. This has no impact on array elements. The default is true.
  - beginArray
```
public JsonWriter beginArray()
                      throws IOException
