BE THE CODER > JSON > JSON LIB Examples

JSON-lib is a java library for serializing and de-serializing java beans, maps, arrays and collections in JSON format. Get the latest binaries from sourceforge http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/. This requires the libraries ( json-lib-2.4-jdk15.jar, xom-1.2.7.jar, ezmorph.jar commons-lang.jar, commons-collections.jar, commons-beanutils-1.7.jar and commons-logging-1.1.1.jar) to be in classpath. The following example shows converting a JSON Array to List.
