two-dimensional string array to JSON about java HOT 8 CLOSED

can you give a sample code, with expected result?

from java.

Hey @taowen! I want this JSON string to be crafted/produced by your JSON library without putting JSON formatting around the values and key names myself:

"{\"type\": \"ANT_ACTION_GOLEFT\", \"color\": \"ANT_COLOR_BLUE\"}" 

So I want a normal String object to represent my key type with value ANT_ACTION_GOLEFT and key color with ANT_COLOR_BLUE and get it converted to JSON by the library.

from java.

"{\"type\": \"ANT_ACTION_GOLEFT\", \"color\": \"ANT_COLOR_BLUE\"}"

this is the input or output? If this is the output, what is the java code to define to object or map in the first place? Do you have a working piece of code?

from java.

The quoted string is how it should look like (without the escape symbols of course). I want this output:

{
"type": "ANT_ACTION_GOLEFT",
"color": "ANT_COLOR_BLUE"
}

but I don't know what kind of string or array object I should pass to serializer so I get this output. I would expect a 2D String array to work but not sure.

from java.

HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
map.put("type", "ANT_ACTION_GOLEFT");
map.put("color", "ANT_COLOR_BLUE");
JsonStream.serialize(map);

from java.

This works @taowen! Although it feels like it is a bit too complex for just two two keys with simple String values. Is there something where I can read up on which types are supported and how to put them into serializer, like to see if there are alternatives to HashMap for my case?

from java.

this is the simplest way...

Okay, fair enough. Thank you :)! The docs were a bit hard to understand for me as a newbie to this lib.
