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).

    Constructor 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 Details

    • 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.json(java.lang.String) 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
