Class Overview

PrettyPrinter implementation that adds no indentation, just implements everything necessary for value output to work as expected, and provide simpler extension points to allow for creating simple custom implementations that add specific decoration or overrides. Since behavior then is very similar to using no pretty printer at all, usually sub-classes are used.

Beyond purely minimal implementation, there is limited amount of configurability which may be useful for actual use: for example, it is possible to redefine separator used between root-level values (default is single space; can be changed to line-feed).

Note: does NOT implement Instantiatable since this is a stateless implementation; that is, a single instance can be shared between threads.

Public Methods

public void beforeArrayValues (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called after array start marker has been output, and right before the first value is to be output. It is not called for arrays with no values.

Default handling does not output anything, but pretty-printer is free to add any white space decoration.

public void beforeObjectEntries (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called after object start marker has been output, and right before the field name of the first entry is to be output. It is not called for objects without entries.

Default handling does not output anything, but pretty-printer is free to add any white space decoration.

public void setRootValueSeparator (String sep)

public void writeArrayValueSeparator (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called after an array value has been completely output, and before another value is to be output.

Default handling (without pretty-printing) will output a single comma to separate values.

public void writeEndArray (JsonGenerator jg, int nrOfValues)

Method called after an Array value has been completely output (minus closing bracket).

Default handling (without pretty-printing) will output the closing bracket. Pretty-printer is to output a bracket as well, but can surround that with other (white-space) decoration.

Parameters
nrOfValues Number of direct members of the array that have been output

public void writeEndObject (JsonGenerator jg, int nrOfEntries)

Method called after an Object value has been completely output (minus closing curly bracket).

Default handling (without pretty-printing) will output the closing curly bracket. Pretty-printer is to output a curly bracket as well, but can surround that with other (white-space) decoration.

Parameters
nrOfEntries Number of direct members of the array that have been output

public void writeObjectEntrySeparator (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called after an object entry (field:value) has been completely output, and before another value is to be output.

Default handling (without pretty-printing) will output a single comma to separate the two.

public void writeObjectFieldValueSeparator (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called after an object field has been output, but before the value is output.

Default handling will just output a single colon to separate the two, without additional spaces.

public void writeRootValueSeparator (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called after a root-level value has been completely output, and before another value is to be output.

Default handling (without pretty-printing) will output a space, to allow values to be parsed correctly. Pretty-printer is to output some other suitable and nice-looking separator (tab(s), space(s), linefeed(s) or any combination thereof).

public void writeStartArray (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called when an Array value is to be output, before any member/child values are output.

Default handling (without pretty-printing) will output the opening bracket. Pretty-printer is to output a bracket as well, but can surround that with other (white-space) decoration.

public void writeStartObject (JsonGenerator jg)

Method called when an Object value is to be output, before any fields are output.

Default handling (without pretty-printing) will output the opening curly bracket. Pretty-printer is to output a curly bracket as well, but can surround that with other (white-space) decoration.
