In this post, we will see how to convert Java Map object into JSON using the Jackson library.
Dependencies
Let’s first add the following dependencies to the pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.9.8</version>
</dependency>
This dependency will also transitively add the following libraries to the classpath:
- jackson-annotations-2.9.8.jar
- jackson-core-2.9.8.jar
- jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar
Always use the latest versions on the Maven central repository for Jackson databind.
Jackson - Convert Java Map Object to JSON
Let's demonstrates how to convert a Map Java object to JSON is using the ObjectMapper.writeValueAsString() method.
JacksonMapToJson.java
package net.javaguides.jackson;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature;
public class JacksonMapToJson {
public static void main(String[] args) throws JsonProcessingException {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT);
Map < String, Integer > days = new HashMap < > ();
days.put("MON", Calendar.MONDAY);
days.put("TUE", Calendar.TUESDAY);
days.put("WED", Calendar.WEDNESDAY);
days.put("THU", Calendar.THURSDAY);
days.put("FRI", Calendar.FRIDAY);
days.put("SAT", Calendar.SATURDAY);
days.put("SUN", Calendar.SUNDAY);
String json = mapper.writeValueAsString(days);
System.out.println(json);
}
}
Output:
{
"THU" : 5,
"TUE" : 3,
"WED" : 4,
"SAT" : 7,
"FRI" : 6,
"MON" : 2,
"SUN" : 1
}
