How to get JSON from GenericRecord without types?

[kant kodali <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I have the following code.

public String byte[] toJson(Schema schema, GenericRecord genericRecord) throws
IOException {

    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    DatumWriter<GenericRecord> writer = new GenericDatumWriter<>(schema);
    JsonEncoder encoder = EncoderFactory.get().jsonEncoder(schema, baos);
    writer.write(genericRecord, encoder);
    encoder.flush();
    baos.flush();
    return new String(baos.toByteArray());

}


As you can see I am passing a Generic Record and I just need a String

without the types.

Right now The function above generates something like this

{"NUM_7":{"double":0.0},"NUM_8":{"double":0.0}}
What I need is this

{"NUM_7":0.0},"NUM_8":0.0}


Thanks!

Hi Kant, The toString method of GenericRecord returns a JSON payload
without the type information.

Cheers!
