jAutoMapper is a Java tool for generating .java class-files, based on either of following two conditions:

• A json-formattet string.
• URL to an API-call that returns json.

###Builder An instance AutoJSON.Builder has following configurations and attributes:

• setClassName(...): The name of the outer most json object.

• setOutDirectory(...): Directory of the generated .java class-files.

• setPackageName(...): Package scope defined in each of the .java files.

• addOnFormatAttributeNameCallback(...): Interface in order to get a callback, for specifying how to name attributes as well as classes.

  Default implementation of OnFormatNameCallback:

  protected static OnFormatNameCallback mOnFormatCallback = new OnFormatNameCallback() {
      public String formatAttr(String orgName) {
         return orgName;
      }
      
      public String formatClass(String orgName) {
         return String.format("%s%s", orgName.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase(), 
                              orgName.substring(1));
      }
  };

• addProperties(...): Set of AttrProperty's for each of the attributes in the json file, for which one of following states holds:

  • AttrProperty.ignore(...): Do not decompile attribute.
  • AttrProperty.generateGetter(...): Generate getter for attribute.
  • AttrProperty.generateSetter(...): Generate setter for attribute.
  • AttrProperty.generateGetterAndSetter(...): Generate getter and setter for attribute.

• setResultCallback(...): Callback to known when its successfully terminated or got canceled by an error.

• shouldOverrideIfExists(...): Defines whether an already existing class should be overridden, default=false.

• create(): Last function to call, which returns an instance of AutoJSON.

###Compile After specifying the configurations on the AutoJSON.Builder object, described above, is following functions available on the AutoJSON object:

• buildJson(...): Building the .java class-files based on json string.
• buildUrl(...): Building the .java class-files based on URL to an API that returns json.

###Example This simple json string:

{
    "projectTitle": "jAutoMapper is a Java-tool",
    "author": "Steffen Karlsson",
    "country": "Denmark",
    "JobTitle": "Developer (Android)",
    "company": {
        "name": "Shape A/S",
        "zip": 2300,
        "city": "Copenhagen"
    }
}

, which by following lines of code:

AutoJSON conf = new AutoJSON.Builder()
   .setClassName("Profile")
   .setResultCallback(new ResultCallback() {
      public void onSuccess() {
         System.out.println("Success");
      }
      
      public void onFailure() {
         System.out.println("Error");
      }
    })
    .setPackageName("com.sk.aj.example")
    .addProperties(
        AttrProperty.ignore("country"),
        AttrProperty.generateGetterAndSetter("projectTitle"))
    .create();
    
// conf can now be called as many times, as there is API-calls with same configuration.
conf.buildJson(<Path to string>);

, can be translated into following two .java class-files: ####Profile.java

package com.sk.aj.example;
    
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;
import java.lang.String;

public class Profile {

    @SerializedName("author")
    protected String author;
    
    @SerializedName("company")
    protected Company company;
    
    @SerializedName("JobTitle")
    protected String JobTitle;
    
    @SerializedName("projectTitle")
    protected String projectTitle;
    
    public String getProjectTitle() {
       return projectTitle;
    }
    
    public void setProjectTitle(String projectTitle) {
       this.projectTitle = projectTitle;
    }
}

####Company.java

package com.sk.aj.example;

import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;
import java.lang.Integer;
import java.lang.String;

public class Company {

    @SerializedName("zip")
    protected Integer zip;
    
    @SerializedName("name")
    protected String name;
    
    @SerializedName("city")
    protected String city;
}

###Known bugs

• Date.class, Calendar.class support (at the moment they are decompiled as String.class).
• Only works for GET requests at the moment.
