Class DataConverter

com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Json

squidpony.store.json.JsonConverter

squidpony.DataConverter

public class DataConverter
extends JsonConverter

Augmented version of libGDX's Json class that knows how to handle various data types common in SquidLib. This includes OrderedMap, which notably allows non-String keys (libGDX's default Map serializer requires keys to be Strings), but does not currently allow the IHasher to be set (which only should affect OrderedMaps with array keys). It also makes significantly shorter serialized output for 2D char arrays, GreasedRegion and FakeLanguageGen objects, and various collections (IntDoubleOrderedMap, IntVLA, Arrangement, K2, and K2V1 at least).

Constructors

Constructor and Description
DataConverter() Creates a new DataConverter using "minimal" output type, so it omits double quotes whenever possible but gives up compatibility with most other JSON readers.
DataConverter(com.badlogic.gdx.utils.JsonWriter.OutputType outputType) Creates a new DataConverter with the given OutputType; typically minimal is fine, but compatibility may require you to use json; the javascript type is a sort of middle ground.

Constructor Detail

DataConverter

public DataConverter()

Creates a new DataConverter using "minimal" output type, so it omits double quotes whenever possible but gives up compatibility with most other JSON readers. Give the constructor JsonWriter.OutputType#json if you need full compatibility.

DataConverter

public DataConverter(com.badlogic.gdx.utils.JsonWriter.OutputType outputType)

Creates a new DataConverter with the given OutputType; typically minimal is fine, but compatibility may require you to use json; the javascript type is a sort of middle ground.

Parameters:

outputType - a JsonWriter.OutputType enum value that determines what syntax can be omitted from the output
