java json 合并,Java-合并JSON文件

I am building an updater util that update my application.

I need to save my configuration files from the previous version.

Some of the configurations files are JSON files.

Is there a way to update the JSON files in a way that i'm keeping the old values

but if there new objects or keys they will be saved also?

For example:

Version 1 json file:

{

"name": "demo",

"description": "Parse some JSON data",

"location": "New York"

}

Version 2 json file:

{

"name": "demo",

"description": "Parse some JSON data",

"location": "London",

"day": "Monday"

}

Expected json file after the merge:

{

"name": "demo",

"description": "Parse some JSON data",

"location": "New York",

"day": "Monday"

}

Is there a way to do so without any external library?

As @cricket_007 advised, This solution worked for me:

public void mergeJsonsFiles(File newJson, File oldJson) throws Exception {

HashMap newMap = convertJsonToMap(newJson);

HashMap oldMap = convertJsonToMap(oldJson);

for (Entry entry : oldMap.entrySet()) {

if (newMap.get(entry.getKey()) == null) {

newMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());

}

}

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

String jsonFromMap = mapper.writeValueAsString(newMap);

PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(newJson);

writer.write(jsonFromMap);

writer.close();

}

private HashMap convertJsonToMap(File json) {

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

HashMap map = new HashMap();

try {

map = mapper.readValue(json, new TypeReference>(){});

} catch (IOException e) {

map.clear();

}

return map;

}
