[SOLVED] Convert JSON to YAML. Parsing JSON to YAML

Convert JSON to YAML. Parsing JSON to YAML

I'm working with configuration files so I need to convert JSON to YAML. For example I have this JSON file:

{
  "foo": "bar",
  "baz": [ "qux","quxx"],
  "corge": null,
  "grault": 1,
  "garply": true,
  "waldo": "false",
  "fred": "undefined",
  "emptyArray": [],
  "emptyObject": {},
  "emptyString": ""
}

The result should be YAML:

foo: "bar"
baz: 
  - "qux"
  - "quxx"
corge: null
grault: 1
garply: true
waldo: "false"
fred: "undefined"
emptyArray: []
emptyObject: {}
emptyString: ""

Could you help me?

Solution

If you need convert JSONobject to yaml (string). you need. Firstly get json string, then map, after that you can convert to yaml. Here the code:

  // this is your json object
  JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(map);
  // get json string
  String prettyJSONString = jsonobject.toString(4);
  // mapping
  Map<String,Object> map = (Map<String, Object>) yaml.load(prettyJSONString);
  // convert to yaml string (yaml formatted string)
  String output = yaml.dump(map2);
