JSONStringer

public class JSONStringer
extends Object

Implements toString() and toString(). Most application developers should use those methods directly and disregard this API. For example:

 JSONObject object = ...
 String json = object.toString();

Stringers only encode well-formed JSON strings. In particular:

• The stringer must have exactly one top-level array or object.
• Lexical scopes must be balanced: every call to array() must have a matching call to endArray() and every call to object() must have a matching call to endObject().
• Arrays may not contain keys (property names).
• Objects must alternate keys (property names) and values.
• Values are inserted with either literal value calls, or by nesting arrays or objects.

This class provides no facility for pretty-printing (ie. indenting) output. To encode indented output, use toString(int) or toString(int).

Some implementations of the API support at most 20 levels of nesting. Attempts to create more than 20 levels of nesting may fail with a JSONException.

Each stringer may be used to encode a single top level value. Instances of this class are not thread safe. Although this class is nonfinal, it was not designed for inheritance and should not be subclassed. In particular, self-use by overrideable methods is not specified. See Effective Java Item 17, "Design and Document or inheritance or else prohibit it" for further information.

Summary

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long millis) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object.
