ObjectMapper class can be used to work with different date formats in JSON. It can be used to parse/generate a String of date.
Example
The following example is using ObjectMapper class to generate a Date string from a String version.
import java.util.Date;
import org.boon.json.JsonFactory;
import org.boon.json.ObjectMapper;
public class BoonTester {
public static void main(String args[]) {
ObjectMapper mapper = JsonFactory.create();
String jsonString = "{\"name\":\"Zafrul\", \"age\":21, \"dateOfBirth\":\"1998-08-11T11:31:00.034Z\" }";
// mapper converts String to date automatically
Student student = mapper.readValue(jsonString, Student.class);
System.out.println(student.dateOfBirth);
// by default mapper converts date to long
jsonString = mapper.writeValueAsString(student);
System.out.println(jsonString);
}
}
class Student {
public String name;
public int age;
public Date dateOfBirth;
public Student(String name, int age, Date dateOfBirth) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.dateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;
}
}
Output
When you execute the above code, you should see the following output −
Tue Aug 11 17:01:00 IST 1998
{"name":"Zafrul","age":21,"dateOfBirth":902835060034}
