Class JSONFormatter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.geode.pdx.JSONFormatter

public class JSONFormatter
extends java.lang.Object

JSONFormatter has a static method fromJSON(String) to convert a JSON document into a PdxInstance and a static method toJSON(PdxInstance) to convert a PdxInstance into a JSON Document.

Using these methods an applications may convert a JSON document into a PdxInstance for storing in the cache. Indexes can then be defined on the PdxInstances so that queries can be performed using OQL. Queries will return PdxInstances and these can be turned back back into JSON documents using JSONFormatter.

JSONFormatter treats values in a json document as number(byte, short, int, long..), string, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null'. These correspond to the following java types:

JSON	Java
object	PdxInstance
arrays	LinkedList
BigDecimal	BigDecimal
BigInterger	BigInteger
Double	double
float	float
boolean	boolean
Integer	byte, short or int
null	null
