What is JSON Binding?
• JSON Binding is a JSR
• JSON Binding = JSON-B = JSONB = JSR 367
• It’s about converting Java objects to and from JSON documents

public int id;
public String firstName;
public String lastName;

}
Customer c = new Customer();
c.id = 1;
c.firstName = "John";
c.lastName = "Doe”;

JSON

Goals
• JSON
– Support of all RFC 7159-compatible JSON documents.
• JSON specifications
– JSON-related specifications has to be surveyed to determine their relationship to
JSON-Binding.
• Consistency
– Maintain consistency with JAXB and other Java EE and SE APIs where appropriate.
• Convention
– Define default mapping of Java classes and instances to JSON document counterparts.
9

Goals (continue)
• Customization
– Allow customization of the default mapping definition.
• Easy of use
– Default use of the APIs should not require prior knowledge of the JSON document
format and specification.
• Integration
– Define or enable integration with JSR 374: Java API for JSON Processing (JSON-P) 1.1.
10

Non-Goals
• Preserving equivalence (Round-trip)
– The specification recommends, but does not require equivalence of content for
deserialized and serialized JSON documents.
• JSON Schema
– Generation of JSON Schema from Java classes, as well as validation based on JSON
schema.
• JEP 198 Lightweight JSON API
– Support and integration with Lightweight JSON API as defined within JEP 198 is out of
scope of this specification.
11

Supported Platforms
• Java EE 7
• Java SE 8
• Targeted for inclusion to Java EE 8
• One of the core parts of Java EE Next

• Public fields with no getters
• Public getter/setter pair without a
corresponding field
• Deserialization

• Public fields with no setters
• Public getter/setter pair without a
corresponding field

String json = jsonb.toJson(obj);

I-JSON
• I-JSON (”Internet JSON”) is a restricted profile of JSON
– https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-json-i-json-06
• JSON-B fully supports I-JSON by default with three exceptions:
– JSON Binding does not restrict the serialization of top-level JSON texts that are
neither objects nor arrays. The restriction should happen at application level.
– JSON Binding does not serialize binary data with base64url encoding.
– JSON Binding does not enforce additional restrictions on dates/times/duration.
• JsonbConfig
– withStrictIJSON(true)
51

• Inspired by JAXB
• Annotations
– @JsonbTypeAdapter annotation
• JsonbConfig
– withAdapters(…)
52
Adapters
public interface JsonbAdapter<Original, Adapted> {
Adapted adaptToJson(Original obj);
Original adaptFromJson(Adapted obj);
}
@JsonbTypeAdapter(AnimalAdapter.class)
public Animal animal;
.withAdapters(new AnimalAdapter());

• Low level control on
serialization/deserialization
• Annotations
– @JsonbTypeSerializer
– @JsonbTypeDeserializer
• JsonbConfig
– withSerializers(…)
– withDeserializers(…)
53
Serializers/Deserializers
public interface JsonbSerializer<T> {
void serialize(T obj, JsonGenerator generator,
SerializationContext ctx);
public interface JsonbDeserializer<T> {
T deserialize(JsonParser parser,
DeserializationContext ctx, Type rtType);
}
@JsonbTypeSerializer(AnimalSerializer.class)
@JsonbTypeDeserializer(AnimalDeserializer.class)
public Animal animal;
.withSerializers(new AnimalSerializer())
.withDeserializers(new AnimalDeserializer());
