## org.richfaces.json
Class JSONWriter

    java.lang.Object
      org.richfaces.json.JSONWriter

Direct Known Subclasses:
  JSONStringer

    public class JSONWriter

extends Object

JSONWriter provides a quick and convenient way of producing JSON text. The texts produced strictly conform to JSON syntax rules. No whitespace is added, so the results are ready for transmission or storage. Each instance of JSONWriter can produce one JSON text.

A JSONWriter instance provides a `value` method for appending values to the text, and a `key` method for adding keys before values in objects. There are `array` and `endArray` methods that make and bound array values, and `object` and `endObject` methods which make and bound object values. All of these methods return the JSONWriter instance, permitting a cascade style. For example,

     new JSONWriter(myWriter).object().key("JSON").value("Hello, World!").endObject();

which writes

     {"JSON":"Hello, World!"}

The first method called must be `array` or `object`. There are no methods for adding commas or colons. JSONWriter adds them for you. Objects and arrays can be nested up to 20 levels deep.

This can sometimes be easier than using a JSONObject to build a string.

Field Detail

### mode

    protected char mode

  The current mode. Values: 'a' (array), 'd' (done), 'i' (initial), 'k' (key), 'o' (object).

### writer

    protected Writer writer

  The writer that will receive the output.

Constructor Detail

### JSONWriter

    public JSONWriter(Writer w)

  Make a fresh JSONWriter. It can be used to build one JSON text.

Method Detail

### array

    public JSONWriter array()
                     throws JSONException

  Begin appending a new array. All values until the balancing `endArray` will be appended to this array. The `endArray` method must be called to mark the array's end.

  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException` - If the nesting is too deep, or if the object is started in the wrong place (for example as a key or after the end of the outermost array or object).

### endArray

    public JSONWriter endArray()
                        throws JSONException

  End an array. This method most be called to balance calls to `array`.

  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException` - If incorrectly nested.

### endObject

    public JSONWriter endObject()
                         throws JSONException

  End an object. This method most be called to balance calls to `object`.

  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException` - If incorrectly nested.

### key

    public JSONWriter key(String s)
                   throws JSONException

  Append a key. The key will be associated with the next value. In an object, every value must be preceded by a key.

  Parameters:
    `s` - A key string.
  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException` - If the key is out of place. For example, keys do not belong in arrays or if the key is null.

### object

    public JSONWriter object()
                      throws JSONException

  Begin appending a new object. All keys and values until the balancing `endObject` will be appended to this object. The `endObject` method must be called to mark the object's end.

  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException` - If the nesting is too deep, or if the object is started in the wrong place (for example as a key or after the end of the outermost array or object).

### value

    public JSONWriter value(boolean b)
                     throws JSONException

  Append either the value `true` or the value `false`.

  Parameters:
    `b` - A boolean.
  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException`

### value

    public JSONWriter value(double d)
                     throws JSONException

  Append a double value.

  Parameters:
    `d` - A double.
  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException` - If the number is not finite.

### value

    public JSONWriter value(long l)
                     throws JSONException

  Append a long value.

  Parameters:
    `l` - A long.
  Returns:
    this
  Throws:
    `JSONException`

### value

    public JSONWriter value(Object o)
                     throws JSONException

  Append an object value.

  Parameters:
    `o` - The object to append. It can be null, or a Boolean, Number, String, JSONObject, or JSONArray, or an object with a toJSONString() method.
