Class JsonBuilder

java.lang.Object
com.avoka.component.json.JsonBuilder
@Deprecated public class JsonBuilder extends Object
Deprecated.
Provide a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) string builder class which can be used to convert Java objects into JSON string for use in Dynamic Data Services.

PLEASE NOTE: this class is deprecated - it is recommended that you use the included Gson library instead

Dynamic Data Example

The Dynamic Data Groovy example below performs a database query and then appends the query row list to a JsonBuilder as an array. 
 // Provides form lookup form data service by calling a configurable Groovy script.
 //
 //   Script parameters include:
 //       form : com.avoka.fc.core.entity.Form
 //       request : javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
 //       serviceDefinition : com.avoka.fc.core.entity.ServiceDefinition
 //       serviceParameters : Map<String, String>
 //
 //   Script return:
 //       JSON string data value to be bound into the form data model
 //
 import groovy.sql.Sql
 import com.avoka.component.json.JsonBuilder

 def sql = Sql.newInstance("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE", "txmanager", "password", "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver")

 def rowList = sql.rows("select db_version as \"Version\", release_version as \"Release\" from db_version_update")

 def jsonBuilder = new JsonBuilder()

 def jsonResult = jsonBuilder.appendArray(rowList).toString()

 sql.close()

 return jsonResult
The JsonBuilder will convert this row data into a valid JSON array text, which will have the format: 
 [{"Version": 1025, "Release": "3.5.1"},{"Version": 1026, "Release": "3.5.1"},{"Version": 1027, "Release": "3.5.1"}]
This data can then be returned to a Composer form which can display the data as a grid.
