nemesis

Another JSON Library for Java.

This one however emphasises the safe composition and dynamic manipulation of JSON structure.

Contrary to most other java JSON libraries, nemesis makes one view and manipulate JSON as a proper data structure, as opposed to something that should be coerced to some domain-object. (think Jackson JsonNode, but better)

It is, as such, somewhat of a nemesis to most other JSON libraries.

For a slightly more detailed introduction and rationale, please take a look here.

Not necessarily battle tested.

Dependency

Supports Java 1.8 and upwards

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.ravram</groupId>
  <artifactId>nemesis</artifactId>
  <version>0.2.0</version>

Usage

public static void main (String... args) {
    String json1 = "{ \"hello\" : \"world\" }";
    String json2 = "{ \"numbers\" : [{ \"first\" : 1 }, { \"second\" : 2 }] }";

    Either<String, String> modified = parse(json1)
         .insertValue("Mark", "Oh-Hai")
         .insertValue("value", "Deep", "Nested", "Structure")
         .remove("hello")
         .mergeJson(parse(json2))
         .updateValue(JSON_TO_LONG, a -> a + 1, "numbers", 1, "second")
         .affix()
         .map(json -> json.encode());

     System.out.println(modified);
 }
// Right: 
//    {
//        "Deep":{
//          "Nested":{
//            "Structure":"value"
//              }
//          },
//        "numbers":[
//          { "first":1 },
//          { "second":3 }
//          ],
//        "Oh-Hai":"Mark"
//    }
