public class JsonArray
extends ArrayList<Object>
implements Jsonable

JsonArray is a common non-thread safe data format for a collection of data. The contents of a JsonArray are only validated as JSON values on serialization. Meaning all values added to a JsonArray must be recognized by the Jsoner for it to be a true 'JsonArray', so it is really a JsonableArrayList that will serialize to a JsonArray if all of its contents are valid JSON.

Since:

2.0.0

Constructor Detail

JsonArray

public JsonArray()

Instantiates an empty JsonArray.

JsonArray

public JsonArray(Collection<?> collection)

Instantiate a new JsonArray using ArrayList's constructor of the same type.

Parameters:

collection - represents the elements to produce the JsonArray with.

Method Detail

asCollection

public <T> void asCollection(Collection<T> destination)

A convenience method that assumes every element of the JsonArray is castable to T before adding it to a collection of Ts.

Type Parameters:

T - represents the type that all of the elements of the JsonArray should be cast to and the type the collection will contain.

Parameters:

destination - represents where all of the elements of the JsonArray are added to after being cast to the generic type provided.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the unchecked cast of an element to T fails.

getBigDecimal

public BigDecimal getBigDecimal(int index)

A convenience method that assumes there is a BigDecimal, Number, or String at the given index. If a Number or String is there it is used to construct a new BigDecimal.

Parameters:

index - representing where the value is expected to be at.

Returns:

the value stored at the key or the default provided if the key doesn't exist.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if there was a value but didn't match the assumed return types.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is outside of the range of element indexes in the JsonArray.

NumberFormatException - if a String isn't a valid representation of a BigDecimal.

See Also:

BigDecimal, Number.doubleValue()

getBoolean

public Boolean getBoolean(int index)

A convenience method that assumes there is a Boolean or String value at the given index.

Parameters:

index - represents where the value is expected to be at.

Returns:

the value at the index provided cast to a boolean.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if there was a value but didn't match the assumed return type.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is outside of the range of element indexes in the JsonArray.

getByte

public Byte getByte(int index)

A convenience method that assumes there is a Number or String value at the given index.

Parameters:

index - represents where the value is expected to be at.

Returns:

the value at the index provided cast to a byte.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if there was a value but didn't match the assumed return type.

NumberFormatException - if a String isn't a valid representation of a BigDecimal or if the Number represents the double or float Infinity or NaN.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is outside of the range of element indexes in the JsonArray.

See Also:

Number

getCollection

public <T extends Collection<?>> T getCollection(int index)

A convenience method that assumes there is a Collection value at the given index.

Type Parameters:

T - the kind of collection to expect at the index. Note unless manually added, collection values will be a JsonArray.

Parameters:

index - represents where the value is expected to be at.

Returns:

the value at the index provided cast to a Collection.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if there was a value but didn't match the assumed return type.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is outside of the range of element indexes in the JsonArray.

Returns:

the value at the index provided cast to a double.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if there was a value but didn't match the assumed return type.

NumberFormatException - if a String isn't a valid representation of a BigDecimal or if the Number represents the double or float Infinity or NaN.
