public class Jcs extends CharMarshaller
A pairing of a JcsSerializer and JsonParser into a single class with convenience to/of methods.

Produces canonical JSON per RFC 8785. Parsing uses the standard JsonParser since JCS output is valid JSON.

Examples:

// Using static convenience methods. String s = Jcs.of(myBean); MyBean b = Jcs.to(s, MyBean.class);

// Using instance. Jcs jcs = new Jcs(); String s = jcs.write(myBean); MyBean b = jcs.read(s, MyBean.class);

Example output (bean with name/age):

{"age":30,"name":"Alice"}

Notes:

// Using static shortcuts. MyPojo myPojo = Jcs.to(string, MyPojo.class); String string = Jcs.of(myPojo);

      object - The object to serialize.
      Returns:
      The serialized object.
      Throws:
      SerializeException - If a problem occurred trying to convert the output.

      public static <T> T to(String input, Class<T> type) throws ParseException
      Parses an input into the specified object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type).

      Type Parameters:
      T - The class type of the object being created.
      Parameters:
      input - The input.
      type - The object type to create.
      Returns:
      The parsed object.
      Throws:

      public static <T> T to(String input, Type type, Type... args) throws ParseException
      Parses an input into the specified parameterized object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type, args).

      Type Parameters:
      T - The class type of the object to create.
      Parameters:
      input - The input.
      type - The object type to create.
      args - The type arguments of the class if it's a collection or map.
      Returns:
      The parsed object.
      Throws:
      ParseException - Malformed input encountered.
    • to

      public static <T> T to(Reader input, Class<T> type) throws ParseException
      Parses the contents of a Reader into the specified object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type) that catches any IOException from the underlying stream and rethrows it as an unchecked ParseException, so the caller is not burdened with a checked exception.

      Type Parameters:
      T - The class type of the object being created.
      Parameters:
      input - The input reader.
      type - The object type to create.
      Returns:
      The parsed object.
      Throws:
      ParseException - Malformed input encountered or an I/O error occurred on the underlying stream.
    • to

      public static <T> T to(Reader input, Type type, Type... args) throws ParseException
      Parses the contents of a Reader into the specified parameterized object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type, args) that catches any IOException from the underlying stream and rethrows it as an unchecked ParseException, so the caller is not burdened with a checked exception.

      Type Parameters:
      T - The class type of the object to create.
      Parameters:
      input - The input reader.
      type - The object type to create.
      args - The type arguments of the class if it's a collection or map.
      Returns:
      The parsed object.
      Throws:
      ParseException - Malformed input encountered or an I/O error occurred on the underlying stream.

      public static void of(Object object, Writer output) throws SerializeException
      Serializes a POJO to the specified Writer using the DEFAULT marshaller.

      A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.write(object, output) that catches any IOException from the underlying stream and rethrows it as an unchecked SerializeException, so the caller is not burdened with a checked exception.

      Parameters:
      object - The object to serialize.
      output - The writer to serialize to.
      Throws:
      SerializeException - If a problem occurred trying to convert the output or an I/O error occurred on the underlying stream.
