Re: javax.json support

["John D. Ament" <jo...@apache.org>]

So I finally started digging into this.  I'm a bit lost, but its mostly
because of my poor understanding of how javax.json is meant to work.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/json-1973242.html

I think what I want to do is create a "JuneauJsonReader" that implements
"javax.json.JsonReader" which delegates down to Juneau's JsonParser.  The
struggle is how to translate a JsonObject, which is just a map of
JsonValues.

Thoughts for a newbie?

Re: javax.json support

[James Bognar <ja...@gmail.com>]

Is this JSR still alive?  Several of the links on the page are dead.

Some notes:

It's working with purely unstructured data, similar to JSON4J with
JSONObject and JSONArray objects.  This is similar to using Juneau with
ObjectMaps and ObjectLists.

The Object Model API is a DOM for JSON.  While you CAN accomplish the same
thing in Juneau using ObjectMap/ObjectList, one of the best features in
Juneau is that you don't NEED to construct a model.  You can marshall
directly against in-memory POJOs.

The JSR works with objects of type
JsonValue/JsonObject/JsonArray/JsonString/JsonNumber.  JsonObject/JsonArray
have ObjectMap/ObjectList equivalents, but for the others we simply
marshall against Java Numbers and Strings which is more efficent.

The streaming API is interesting.  Juneau currently doesn't have streaming
and event-driven support.

Takeaway:

If it's still alive, we could create a JsonReader/JsonWriter implementation
based on Juneau.  Some layer would have to be added to convert
ObjectMap/ObjectList/... to and from JsonObject/JsonArray/....
That would be pretty easy to implement.

If A more-efficient approach would be to alter the
JsonSerializer/JsonParser to support marshalling directly to and from
JsonObject/JsonArray objects.  That's a bit more difficult, but not
impossible.
