Class JsonArray

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.rap.json.JsonValue
      org.eclipse.rap.json.JsonArray

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Iterable<JsonValue>

public class JsonArray
extends JsonValue
implements java.lang.Iterable<JsonValue>

Represents a JSON array. A JSON array is a sequence of elements, which are JSON values (see JsonValue).

Elements can be added using one of the different add(...) methods. Accepted values are either instances of JsonValue, or strings, primitive numbers, or boolean values.

Elements can be accessed by their index using get(int). This class also supports iterating over the elements in document order using an iterator() or an enhanced for loop:

 for( JsonValue value : jsonArray ) {
   ...
 }
 

A n equivalent List can be obtained from the method values().

Note that this class is not thread-safe. If multiple threads access a JsonArray instance concurrently, while at least one of these threads modifies the contents of this array, access to the instance must be synchronized externally. Failure to do so may lead to an inconsistent state.

This class is not supposed to be extended by clients.

Constructor Detail

JsonArray

public JsonArray()

Creates a new empty JsonArray.

JsonArray

public JsonArray(JsonArray array)

Creates a new JsonArray with the contents of the specified JSON array.

Parameters:

array - the JsonArray to get the initial contents from, must not be null

Method Detail

readFrom

public static JsonArray readFrom(java.io.Reader reader)
                          throws java.io.IOException

Reads a JSON array from the given reader.

Parameters:

reader - the reader to read the JSON array from

Returns:

the JSON array that has been read

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs in the reader

ParseException - if the input is not valid JSON

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the input does not contain a JSON array

readFrom

public static JsonArray readFrom(java.lang.String string)

Reads a JSON array from the given string.

Parameters:

string - the string that contains the JSON array

Returns:

the JSON array that has been read

Throws:

ParseException - if the input is not valid JSON

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the input does not contain a JSON array

unmodifiableArray

public static JsonArray unmodifiableArray(JsonArray array)

Returns an unmodifiable wrapper for the specified JsonArray. This method allows to provide read-only access to a JsonArray.

The returned JsonArray is backed by the given array and reflects subsequent changes. Attempts to modify the returned JsonArray result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

Parameters:

array - the JsonArray for which an unmodifiable JsonArray is to be returned

Returns:

an unmodifiable view of the specified JsonArray

add

public JsonArray add(long value)

Adds the JSON representation of the specified long value to the array.

Parameters:

value - the value to add to the array

Returns:

the array itself, to enable method chaining

add

public JsonArray add(float value)

Adds the JSON representation of the specified float value to the array.

Parameters:

value - the value to add to the array

Returns:

the array itself, to enable method chaining

add

public JsonArray add(double value)

Adds the JSON representation of the specified double value to the array.

Parameters:

value - the value to add to the array

Returns:

the array itself, to enable method chaining

add

public JsonArray add(boolean value)

Adds the JSON representation of the specified boolean value to the array.

Parameters:

value - the value to add to the array

Returns:

the array itself, to enable method chaining

add

public JsonArray add(java.lang.String value)

Adds the JSON representation of the specified string to the array.

Parameters:

value - the string to add to the array

Returns:

the array itself, to enable method chaining

add

public JsonArray add(JsonValue value)

Adds the specified JsonValue to the array.

Parameters:

value - the JsonValue to add to the array

Returns:

the array itself, to enable method chaining

size

public int size()

Returns the number of elements in this array.

Returns:

the number of elements in this array

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if this array contains no elements.

Returns:

true if this array contains no elements

get

public JsonValue get(int index)

Returns the value of the element at the specified position in this array.

Parameters:

index - the index of the array element to return

Returns:

the value of the element at the specified position

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size()).

values

public java.util.List<JsonValue> values()

Returns a list of the values in this array in document order. The returned list is backed by this array and will reflect subsequent changes. It cannot be used to modify this array. Attempts to modify the returned list will result in an exception.

Returns:

a list of the values in this array

iterator

Throws:

java.io.IOException

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Description copied from class: JsonValue

Detects whether this value represents a JSON array. If this is the case, this value is an instance of JsonArray.

Overrides:

isArray in class JsonValue

Returns:

true if this value is an instance of JsonArray

asArray

public JsonArray asArray()

Description copied from class: JsonValue

Returns this JSON value as JsonArray, assuming that this value represents a JSON array. If this is not the case, an exception is thrown.

Overrides:

asArray in class JsonValue

Returns:

a JSONArray for this value

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class JsonValue

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Description copied from class: JsonValue

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one according to the contract specified in Object.equals(Object).

Two JsonValues are considered equal if and only if they represent the same JSON text. As a consequence, two given JsonObjects may be different even though they contain the same set of names with the same values, but in a different order.

Overrides:

equals in class JsonValue

Parameters:

object - the reference object with which to compare

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the object argument; false otherwise
