| |
| JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format. |
| See http://www.JSON.org/ |
| |
| The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java. |
| It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP |
| headers, Cookies, and CDL. |
| |
| This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages |
| in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until |
| then, choose carefully. |
| |
| The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good, |
| not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different |
| package. |
| |
| The package compiles on Java 1.8. |
| |
| |
| JSONObject.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener |
| to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its |
| contents, and for producing a JSON compliant object serialization. |
| |
| JSONArray.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener |
| to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating |
| its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant array serialization. |
| |
| JSONTokener.java: The JSONTokener breaks a text into a sequence of individual |
| tokens. It can be constructed from a String, Reader, or InputStream. |
| |
| JSONException.java: The JSONException is the standard exception type thrown |
| by this package. |
| |
| |
| JSONString.java: The JSONString interface requires a toJSONString method, |
| allowing an object to provide its own serialization. |
| |
| JSONStringer.java: The JSONStringer provides a convenient facility for |
| building JSON strings. |
| |
| JSONWriter.java: The JSONWriter provides a convenient facility for building |
| JSON text through a writer. |
| |
| |
| CDL.java: CDL provides support for converting between JSON and comma |
| delimited lists. |
| |
| Cookie.java: Cookie provides support for converting between JSON and cookies. |
| |
| CookieList.java: CookieList provides support for converting between JSON and |
| cookie lists. |
| |
| HTTP.java: HTTP provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers. |
| |
| HTTPTokener.java: HTTPTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing HTTP headers. |
| |
| XML.java: XML provides support for converting between JSON and XML. |
| |
| JSONML.java: JSONML provides support for converting between JSONML and XML. |
| |
| XMLTokener.java: XMLTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing XML text. |
