JSONObject null转为“null”源码解析

一、JSONObject初始化调用流程

public JSONObject(String json) throws JSONException {
    this(new JSONTokener(json));
}

public JSONObject(JSONTokener readFrom) throws JSONException {
    Object object = readFrom.nextValue();
    ......
}

进而调用到JSONTokener的方法：

public Object nextValue() throws JSONException {
        int c = nextCleanInternal();
        switch (c) {
            case -1:
                throw syntaxError("End of input");
            case '{':
                return readObject();
            case '[':
                return readArray();
            case '\'':
            case '"':
                return nextString((char) c);
            default:
                pos--;
                return readLiteral();
        }
    }

分析方法readObject()中的 JSONObject.put((String) name, nextValue())
1、nextValue()当读取到null的值时，会进入方法readLiteral()

private Object readLiteral() throws JSONException {
    String literal = nextToInternal("{}[]/\\:,=;# \t\f");

     if (literal.length() == 0) {
         throw syntaxError("Expected literal value");
     } else if ("null".equalsIgnoreCase(literal)) {
         return JSONObject.NULL;
    ......

nextToInternal(“{}[]/\:,=;# \t\f”)方法通过in.substring(start, pos)截取到null作为字符串，返回NULL对象

2、 JSONObject.put()实现方法如下：

public JSONObject put(String name, Object value) throws JSONException {
     if (value == null) {
         nameValuePairs.remove(name);
         return this;
     }
     if (value instanceof Number) {
         // deviate from the original by checking all Numbers, not just floats & doubles
         JSON.checkDouble(((Number) value).doubleValue());
     }
     nameValuePairs.put(checkName(name), value);
     return this;
 }

此时将NULL对象放入到了对象

LinkedHashMap<String,Object> nameValuePairs

二、JSONObject.optString(“key”)去获取值

public String optString(String name, String fallback) {
    Object object = opt(name);
    String result = JSON.toString(object);
    return result != null ? result : fallback;
}

调用JSONObject的opt方法，从LinkedHashMap nameValuePairs中获取Object，

public Object opt(String name) {
    return nameValuePairs.get(name);
}

关键点在String result = JSON.toString(object)，其实现方法：

static String toString(Object value) {
    if (value instanceof String) {
        return (String) value;
    } else if (value != null) {
        return String.valueOf(value);
    }
    return null;
}

只要Object不为null，则强转为String对象，Object对象的定义

public static final Object NULL = new Object() {
     @Override public boolean equals(Object o) {
         return o == this || o == null; // API specifies this broken equals implementation
     }
     @Override public String toString() {
         return "null";
     }
 };

故返回String对象

三、修改获取方法：JSONObject.isNull(“key”)？“”：JSONObject.optString(“key”)

public boolean isNull(String name) {
    Object value = nameValuePairs.get(name);
    return value == null || value == NULL;
}

返回true的场景：
1、key==null
2、value == NULL(即格式为“key”:null)
