Re: [Simple-support] JSON

Hi Daniil,

Currently the library is implemented with XML in mind. However should you wish to use the code to perform JSON serialization I think you could do it quite easily. I would recommend a new package such as "simple.json" and "simple.json.load" as attempting to build this into the framework could be a little difficult. To start the core functionality lies in the following classes:

Traverser.java: This is where each class is prociessed in a depth first traversal, instantiation is done as a field/method is visited
Composite.java: This is the core processing object, it makes use of the annotations to determine how to handle the parsing
Scanner.java: This is where all reflective data is acquired and where the labels are created
Label.java: This and all subclasses determine how the annotations are processed

I think the code should be well documented so you should not have too much problems refactoring. Perhaps some slight changes to the Composite.java object and the simple.xml.stream package is all you need. 

I may take a look at this myself to see how much would be involved.

Niall

Hi,



I found SimpleXML library just recently and it is great. Saved me a lot
of time. But I was just wondering if it would be possible to write a
Serializer which will write not into XML format but into JSON format.
This way one could switch between serialization on request without
having to modify annotations (if not worse). It does seem to out of
scope of SimpleXML since, as the name implies, it is designed to work
with XML only. But nonetheless. I'd be glad to do it if given a few
pointers.
