GSON. How to convert json object to json array?

Question

Now I am getting this JSON from API:

{"supplyPrice": {
        "CAD": 78,
        "CHF": 54600.78,
        "USD": 20735.52
      }}

But prices are dynamic, that's why I need JSON in this form

{
  "supplyPrice": [
    {
      "name": "CAD",
      "value": "78"
    },
    {
      "name": "TRY",
      "value": "34961.94"
    },
    {
      "name": "CHF",
      "value": "54600.78"
    },
    {
      "name": "USD",
      "value": "20735.52"
    }
  ]
}

How to do this using GSON?

Answer 1

GSON uses POJO classes to parse JSON into java objects.

Create A java class containing variables with names and datatype same as keys of JSON object. I think the JSON you are getting is not in the right format.

Class SupplyPrice{
 double CAD;
 double CHF;
 double TRY
}

Class SupplyPriceContainer{
 ArrayList<SupplyPrice> supplyPrice;
}

And your JSON should be

 {
    "CAD": 78,
    "CHF": 54600.78,
    "USD": 20735.52
 }



{
    "supplyPrice": [{
        "CAD": 78,
        "CHF": 0,
        "USD": 0
    }, {
        "CAD": 0,
        "CHF": 54600.00,
        "USD": 0
    }, {
        "CAD": 0,
        "CHF": 0,
        "USD": 20735.52
    }]
 }

Then you can Use GSON's `fromJson(String pJson, Class pClassType) to convert to JAVA object

  Gson gson = new Gson()
  ArrayList<SupplyPrice> suplyPrices = gson.fromJson(pJsonString, SupplyPrice.class);

Now you can use the arraylist to get the data.
