Convert JSON string 转 Map

1. JSON string to Map

Example to convert JSON string to a Map.

JsonMapExample.java

package com.mkyong.json.example;
 
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;
import org.codehaus.jackson.type.TypeReference;
 
public class JsonMapExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
	String json = "{\"name\":\"mkyong\", \"age\":\"29\"}";
 
	Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<String,String>();
	ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
 
	try {
 
		//convert JSON string to Map
		map = mapper.readValue(json, 
		    new TypeReference<HashMap<String,String>>(){});
 
		System.out.println(map);
 
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
 
    }
}

Output

{age=29, name=mkyong}

2. Map to JSON string

Example to convert the Map to JSON string.

MapJsonExample.java

package com.mkyong.json.example;
 
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;
 
public class MapJsonExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
	try {
 
		ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
		String json = "";
 
		Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
		map.put("name", "mkyong");
		map.put("age", "29");
 
		//convert map to JSON string
		json = mapper.writeValueAsString(map);
 
		System.out.println(json);
 
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
 
    }
}

Output

{"age":"29","name":"mkyong"}

3. Map to JSON File

Example to convert the Map to a JSON file.

JsonMapFileExample.java

package com.mkyong.json.example;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;
 
public class JsonMapFileExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
	ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
 
	Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
	map.put("name", "mkyong");
	map.put("age", 29);
 
	List<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>();
	list.add("msg 1");
	list.add("msg 2");
	list.add("msg 3");
 
	map.put("messages", list);
 
	try {
 
		// write JSON to a file
		mapper.writeValue(new File("c:\\user.json"), map);
 
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
    }
}

c:\\user.json

{
	"age":29,
	"name":"mkyong",
	"messages":["msg 1","msg 2","msg 3"]
}

4. JSON file to Map

Example to convert the JSON file to a Map.

JsonFileMapExample.java

package com.mkyong.json.example;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Map;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;
import org.codehaus.jackson.type.TypeReference;
 
public class JsonFileMapExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
	try {
 
		ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
 
		// read JSON from a file
		Map<String, Object> map = mapper.readValue(
			new File("c:\\user.json"),
			new TypeReference<Map<String, Object>>() {
		});
 
		System.out.println(map.get("name"));
		System.out.println(map.get("age"));
 
		@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
		ArrayList<String> list = (ArrayList<String>) map.get("messages");
 
		for (String msg : list) {
			System.out.println(msg);
		}
 
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
 
    }
}

Output

mkyong
29
msg 1
msg 2
msg 3

Method Two：

String  to Json

JSONObject  jasonObject = JSONObject.fromObject(str);

String to Map

JSONObject  jasonObject = JSONObject.fromObject(str); 

Map map = (Map)jasonObject;
