Kson is a library for producing and consuming JSON in Kotlin.
It is a thin wrapper over Jackson. It is heavily inspired by (in fact, it's largely a port from) Play's JSON support.
This is just an experiment - not for production use. However, it does appear to successfully serialise to and from JSON, support building in a DSL fashion and allow extraction of attributes.
val person = JsObject(
"firstName" to "Andrew".js,
"lastName" to "O'Malley".js,
"age" to 21.js,
"adult" to true.js,
"address" to JsObject(
"number" to "88".js,
"street" to "Chapel Street".js,
"suburb" to "Windsor".js,
"state" to "VIC".js,
"postCode" to "3181".js
),
"pets" to JsArray(
JsObject(
"kind" to "dog".js,
"name" to "Rover".js
),
JsObject(
"kind" to "cat".js,
"name" to "Kitty".js
)
)
)val street = person["address"]["street"].asString() // "Chapel Street"
val petNames = person["pets"].map { it["name"].asString() } // List("Rover", "Kitty")See the tests for more examples.
