Hi all,
I'd like to commit a new velocity tool to help producing JSON from
velocity. It's mainly a wrapper around the json-lib library
(
http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/).
For a first version, I propose the 2 following APIs :
public JSON toJSON(Object object)
public String toValueString(String value)
The first one should become a privileged way of producing JSON from
velocity. It allows to easily write a JSON-valid String from java beans
and/or maps. See
http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/usage.html#objects for
more information of what it makes possible. Note that JSON#toString
actually writes down the valid JSON, so in velocity we just have to do :
$jsontool.toJSON($object)
The second API is a helper to produce a JSON-valid value String from a
java String (it escapes properly quotes).
I've pasted the proposed implementation at
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/VelocityJsonToolProposal
As a bonus, this will make the JSON groovy builder
(
http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/groovy/JsonGroovy…)
and the JSONSlurper
(
http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/groovy/JsonSlurpe…)
available for groovy scripting.
If you agree I would like to commit it in branch 2.0 as well, as this is
the clean way of fixing some issues with the livetable. (For example :
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4282).
My +1 for the tool,
Thanks,
Jerome.
