Module jakarta.json.bind

Package jakarta.json.bind

package jakarta.json.bind
Provides the JSON Binding API, which enables binding Java objects to and from JSON documents.

The main entry point to the API is JsonbBuilder, which builds a Jsonb instance that you use to read and write JSON documents. For example, 


   public record Lake(String name, int area, int maxDepth) {
   }

   String json = """
             [
              { "name": "Lake Superior", "area": 31700, "maxDepth": 1333 },
              { "name": "Lake Michigan", "area": 22300, "maxDepth": 925  },
              { "name": "Lake Huron",    "area": 23000, "maxDepth": 750  }
             ]
             """;

   Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.create();

   Lake[] lakes = jsonb.fromJson(json, Lake[].class);

   String name = lakes[0].name();     // "Lake Superior"
   int   depth = lakes[0].maxDepth(); // 1333

   String json_superior = jsonb.toJson(lakes[0]);

   // Close if no longer needed; a Jsonb instance should be reused throughout the application.
   jsonb.close();
