Parse map with dynamic keys with Klaxon


I have the following JSON snippet:

 {  
   "hd":{  
      "hdEnabled":true,
      "defaultStreamQualitySetting":"HD720",
      "streamQualitySettings":{  
         "SD":"SD - low quality",
         "HD720":"Standard HD - 720p",
         "HD1080":"Full HD - 1080p"
      }
   }
}

I want to parse the streamQualitySettings with Klaxon and Gson to an object called 'Option' that has a key & description so that I end of with a list of 3 options

How can I achieve this with Klaxon (or Gson)?

This is my code

val jsonArray = bootstrapJsonObject()
          .lookup<JsonArray<JsonObject>>("hd.streamQualitySettings")
          .first()

val gson = Gson()
val options = ArrayList<Option>()
jsonArray.forEach {
    options.add(gson.fromJson(it.toJsonString(), Option::class.java))
}

Solution

  • Why are you using both gson and klaxon? If you want to use gson, then kotson is an alternative with a fluent kotlin dsl.

    Here is a solution with klaxon:

    fun convert(input: String): List<Option> {
        val streamObj = (Parser.default().parse(StringBuilder(input)) as JsonObject)
            .obj("hd")!!
            .obj("streamQualitySettings")!!
        return streamObj.keys.map { Option(it, streamObj.string(it)!!) }
    }
    
    

    Parse, then move down to the streamQualitySettings.

    Get all the keys and map them to Option.
