Menu
I'm just trying to find a way to convert a json response (from a REST API) into POJO (As used in android) so that I can use the received data into my application as using Map wont be sufficient as the data i'm receiving is a little complex and contains 3 levels of arrays (arrays inside of arrays inside of arrays).
I'm using Dio library for api calls and i can make API call successfully and print the data on the console with no issues at all. Can anyone assist me in achieving this?
Below is the response i'm getting.

json_serializable isn't that well documented, but it does exactly what you want, is easier to use and requires less boilerplate than built_value, especially when it comes to arrays.
import 'package:json_annotation/json_annotation.dart';
import 'dart:convert';
part 'school.g.dart';
@JsonSerializable()
class School {
final String name;
final int maxStudentCount;
final List<Student> students;
School(this.name, this.maxStudentCount, this.students);
factory School.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => _$SchoolFromJson(json);
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$SchoolToJson(this);
}
@JsonSerializable()
class Student {
final String name;
final DateTime birthDate;
Student({this.name, this.birthDate});
factory Student.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => _$StudentFromJson(json);
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$StudentToJson(this);
}
test() {
String jsonString = '''{
"name":"Trump University",
"maxStudentCount":9999,
"students":[
{
"name":"Peter Parker",
"birthDate":"1999-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}
]
}''';
final decodedJson = json.decode(jsonString);
final school = School.fromJson(decodedJson);
assert(school.students.length == 1);
}
It also supports enum serialization.
To generate the serialization code, run:
flutter packages pub run build_runner build
