    • mergeExistingObject

      public JsonBuilder mergeExistingObject(Json objectToMerge) throws BuildException
      Description copied from interface: JsonBuilder
      Use an existing, compiled JSON OBJECT, attempt to retain all information from the current builder, and all new information from the object to merge. This method should treat the data to be merged with higher importance. (e.g. any data in the input Object which has a key already existing in the builder, should overwrite the builder.)

      The key difference between this and the JsonBuilder.addBuilderBlock(java.lang.String, com.clumd.projects.javajson.api.JsonBuilder) methods, is that those are designed to insert a full piece of data at a predefined path, whereas this is designed to dynamically select properties from the input object to use in the output of the builder.

      N.B. This method WILL NOT throw if you try to merge an object which contains properties of the same "key" pathing, but different data-types, however the .build() method used elsewhere to transform this JsonBuilder into a Json WILL throw with duplicate key warnings.

      Specified by:
      mergeExistingObject in interface JsonBuilder
      Parameters:
      objectToMerge - The JSON value to merge into the current builder.
      Returns:
      The current JSON builder, with the additional data merged in.
      Throws:
      BuildException - Thrown if there was something wrong with the input Json.

    • convertFromJSON

      public JsonBuilder convertFromJSON(Json json)
      Description copied from interface: JsonBuilder
      Break a full JSON object down into a builder representation of itself to be added to.
      Specified by:
      convertFromJSON in interface JsonBuilder
      Parameters:
      json - The JSON object to break into a builder representation.
      Returns:
      The given JSON object, as a JsonBuilder.
