JSON DSL (Kotlin)

When using ISL from Kotlin you can benefit from Kotlin’s custom DSL capabilities and use the JSON DSL to easily create JSON Objects and Arrays without using the JsonNodeFactory.instance.objectNode() and other factory specific functions.

Example

import com.intuit.isl.dsl.*

// create a json node
val value = node {
    put ("first name", "John")
    put ("last name", "Smith")
    put ("age", 23 )

    array ("addresses")[
        node ("work"){
            put("line1", "123 Intuit Way")
        }
    ]
}

val jsonNode = value.node;  // access the internal JsonNode that was generated

// create an array with two items
val items = array [
        node ("work"){
            put("line1", "123 Intuit Way")
        }

        node ("home"){
            put("line1", "123 Intuit Way")
        }
    ]

val jsonNode = value.node;  // access the internal JsonNode that was generated

Usage

• array[ ... ] - start a new json array [ ... ]
• node{ ... } - start a json object node { ... }
  • put(name, value) - put a property with a value
  • node(name) { ... } - add a property as a new object with name as the property key
  • merge( node ) - merge the properties of another object into the current object
• array( name )[ ... ] - add a property as a new array with name as the property key
  • add( value ) - add a value to the array
  • addAll( list ) - add a full list to the array
  • node { ... } - add a new object to the array
