| # Yasson |
| Yasson is a Java framework which provides a standard binding layer between Java classes and JSON documents. This is similar to what JAXB is doing in the XML world. Yasson is an official reference implementation of JSON Binding ([JSR-367](https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=367)). |
| |
| It defines a **default mapping** algorithm for converting existing Java classes to JSON suitable for the most cases: |
| |
| ```java |
| Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.create(); |
| String result = jsonb.toJson(someObject); |
| ``` |
| |
| For whom it's not enough it provides rich customization abilities through a set of **annotations** and rich **programmatic API**: |
| |
| ```java |
| // Create custom configuration |
| JsonbConfig config = new JsonbConfig() |
| .withNullValues(true) |
| .withFormating(true); |
| |
| // Create Jsonb with custom configuration |
| Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.create(config); |
| |
| // Use it! |
| String result = jsonb.toJson(someObject); |
| ``` |
