[VOTE] Introducing a new velocity tool for JSON manipulation

Reply Threaded

Hi all,

I'd like to commit a new velocity tool to help producing JSON from
velocity. It's mainly a wrapper around the json-lib library
(http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/).

For a first version, I propose the 2 following APIs :

public JSON toJSON(Object object)
public String toValueString(String value)

The first one should become a privileged way of producing JSON from
velocity. It allows to easily write a JSON-valid String from java beans
and/or maps. See http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/usage.html#objects for
more information of what it makes possible. Note that JSON#toString
actually writes down the valid JSON, so in velocity we just have to do :
$jsontool.toJSON($object)

The second API is a helper to produce a JSON-valid value String from a
java String (it escapes properly quotes).

I've pasted the proposed implementation at
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/VelocityJsonToolProposal

As a bonus, this will make the JSON groovy builder
(http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/groovy/JsonGroovyBuilder.html)
and the JSONSlurper
(http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/groovy/JsonSlurper.html)
available for groovy scripting.

If you agree I would like to commit it in branch 2.0 as well, as this is
the clean way of fixing some issues with the livetable. (For example :
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4282).

My +1 for the tool,

Thanks,
Jerome.

Hi Jerome,

Was this committed (I don't remember seeing it)? If not, where do you
intend to commit it?

Thanks
-Vincent

I have not committed anything so far. Following our discussion on
jabber, I'll come up with a proposal for components to expose scripting
services.
