I have the following JSON example below:
{
"value": 946.2,
"description": "O valor é R$ 946,20."
}
I need to use MessageFormat to JUnit test this JSON example, but I get an invalid value because my Locale is not in english. If I change my Locale to english instead of brazilian portuguese I get an invalid description because the currency value is displayed in English.
Here's my code:
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.text.MessageFormat;
import java.util.Locale;
Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("""
'{'
"value": {0},
"description": "O valor é {0,number,currency}."
'}'
""", new BigDecimal(946.2)));
How can I format the value or the description in order to get the JSON as displayed above?
This is a String.format
solution with two inner (localized, customized) NumberFormat
ters:
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;
public class OtherMain {
private static final Locale LOCALE_PT_BR = new Locale.Builder().
setLanguage("pt").
setRegion("BR").
build();
private static final NumberFormat DEFAULT_NUMBER_FMT
= NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.US);
private static final NumberFormat MY_SPECIAL_NUMBER_FMT
= NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(LOCALE_PT_BR);
static {
// this disables "thousands sperarator", we can adjust DEFAULT_NUMBER_FMT as well...
MY_SPECIAL_NUMBER_FMT.setGroupingUsed(false);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
final BigDecimal num = new BigDecimal(99946.2);
System.out.format("""
{
"value": %s,
"description": "O valor é %s."
}
""",
DEFAULT_NUMBER_FMT.format(num),
MY_SPECIAL_NUMBER_FMT.format(num)
);
}
}
Prints:
{
"value": 99,946.2,
"description": "O valor é R$ 99946,20."
}
