I also recommend Jackson. It works really well and the author provides
awesome technical support!
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/ contains a short
introduction.
Normally Jackson serializes POJO into a JSON map (key-value pairs). If
you want to serialize a POJO directly into an array (as opposed to a map
with a single value) then you can do something like this:
public class GetUsers
{
private final List<URI> users;
@JsonCreator
public GetUsers(List<URI> users)
throws NullPointerException
{
this.users = ImmutableList.copyOf(users);
}
@JsonValue
public List<URI> getUsers()
{
return users;
}
}
@JsonCreator indicates which constructor to use for deserializing from JSON.
@JsonValue indicates that you want to use a single getter method for
serialization as opposed to the default behavior of mapping multiple
getter methods into an associative map.
Good luck! :)
