             Summary: Json.createObjectBuilder(Map) cannot handle non-scalar types
                 Key: JOHNZON-225
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JOHNZON-225
             Project: Johnzon
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.1.12
            Reporter: Ivan Greene


Json.createObjectBuilder(Map<String, Object>) throws JsonException when passed a Map who's values are non-scalar types (JsonValue subclasses such as JsonArray/JsonObject are permitted, however).

An example:
{code:java}
@Test
public void shouldBuildJsonObjectFromMap() {
    Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("foo", "bar");
    map.put("baz", new HashMap<>());
    map.put("quux", new ArrayList<>());
    JsonObject build = Json.createObjectBuilder(map).build();
    assertThat(build.getJsonObject("baz")).isNotNull();
}
{code}

This results in the exception "javax.json.JsonException: Illegal JSON type! name=quux type=class java.util.ArrayList"
This is not a problem in Yasson. The spec mentions that IllegalArgumentException should be thrown if a value from the map cannot be converted to the corresponding JsonValue, but in this case Maps or Lists should be converted to JsonObject or JsonArray
