Does anyone knows a java library that could easily encode java Maps into json objects and the other way around?
UPDATE
For reasons couldn't explain ( and I hate sometimes ) I can't use generics on my environment.
What' I'm trying to do is to have something like this:
Map a = new HashMap();
a.put( "name", "Oscar" );
Map b = new HashMap();
b.put( "name", "MyBoss");
a.put( "boss", b ) ;
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add( a );
list.add( b );
String json = toJson( list );
// and create the json:
/*
[
{
"name":"Oscar",
"boss":{
"name":"MyBoss"
}
},
{
"name":"MyBoss"
}
]
*/
And be able to have it again as a list of maps
List aList = ( List ) fromJson( jsonStirng );
