I have some Java code that will print out JSON from a Servlet:
JSONArray arrayObj = new JSONArray();
arrayObj.put("MCA");
arrayObj.put("Amit Kumar");
arrayObj.put("19-12-1986");
arrayObj.put(24);
arrayObj.put("Scored");
arrayObj.put(new Double(66.67));
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(arrayObj);
will print out a page in a browser that looks like:
["MCA","Amit Kumar","19-12-1986",24,"Scored",66.67]
I need to be able to generate more complex, treelike data structures such as
[{
task:'Project: Shopping',
duration:13.25,
user:'Tommy Maintz',
iconCls:'task-folder',
expanded: true,
children:[{
task:'Housewares',
duration:1.25,
user:'Tommy Maintz',
iconCls:'task-folder',
children:[{
task:'Kitchen supplies',
duration:0.25,
user:'Tommy Maintz',
leaf:true,
iconCls:'task'
},{
task:'Groceries',
duration:.4,
user:'Tommy Maintz',
leaf:true,
iconCls:'task'
},{
task:'Cleaning supplies',
duration:.4,
user:'Tommy Maintz',
leaf:true,
iconCls:'task'
},{
task: 'Office supplies',
duration: .2,
user: 'Tommy Maintz',
leaf: true,
iconCls: 'task'
}]
}, {
task:'Remodeling',
duration:12,
user:'Tommy Maintz',
iconCls:'task-folder',
expanded: true,
children:[{
task:'Retile kitchen',
duration:6.5,
user:'Tommy Maintz',
leaf:true,
iconCls:'task'
},{
are there any methods or techniques with the org.json
API I can use to generate this treelike JSON response? Specifically, I'm wondering if there's anything I can use to handle the creation of expanded nodes, children, and leaf nodes?
