Class Json

java.lang.Object
com.restfb.json.Json
public final class Json extends Object
This class serves as the entry point to the minimal-json API.

To parse a given JSON input, use the parse() methods like in this example: 

 JsonObject object = Json.parse(string).asObject();

To create a JSON data structure to be serialized, use the methods value(), array(), and object(). For example, the following snippet will produce the JSON string {"foo": 23, "bar": true}: 

 String string = Json.object().add("foo", 23).add("bar", true).toString();

To create a JSON array from a given Java array, you can use one of the array() methods with varargs parameters: 

 String[] names = ...
 JsonArray array = Json.array(names);

      public static JsonValue parse(Reader reader) throws IOException
      Reads the entire input from the given reader and parses it as JSON. The input must contain a valid JSON value, optionally padded with whitespace.

      Characters are read in chunks into an input buffer. Hence, wrapping a reader in an additional BufferedReader likely won't improve reading performance.

      Parameters:
      reader - the reader to read the JSON value from
      Returns:
      a value that represents the parsed JSON
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs in the reader
