JsonWriter 

public final class JsonWriter

extends ​Object​ implements ​Closeable

java.lang.Object 

↳ android.util.JsonWriter 

Writes a JSON (​RFC 4627​) encoded value to a stream, one token at a time. The stream includes both 
literal values (strings, numbers, booleans and nulls) as well as the begin and end delimiters of 
objects and arrays. 

Encoding JSON 
To encode your data as JSON, create a new ​JsonWriter​. Each JSON document must contain one 
top-level array or object. Call methods on the writer as you walk the structure's contents, nesting 
arrays and objects as necessary: 
● To write ​arrays​, first call ​beginArray()​. Write each of the array's elements with the 
appropriate ​value(boolean)​ methods or by nesting other arrays and objects. Finally close 
the array using e
​ ndArray()​. 
● To write ​objects​, first call ​beginObject()​. Write each of the object's properties by 
alternating calls to n
​ ame(String)​ with the property's value. Write property values with the 
appropriate ​value(boolean)​ method or by nesting other objects or arrays. Finally close 
the object using ​endObject()​. 

   
Example 
Suppose we'd like to encode a stream of messages such as the following: 
​[

​{

​"id"​:​ ​912345678901​,

​"text"​:​ ​"How do I write JSON on Android?"​,

​"geo"​:​ ​null​,

​"user"​:​ ​{

​"name"​:​ ​"android_newb"​,

​"followers_count"​:​ ​41

​}

​},

​{

​"id"​:​ ​912345678902​,

​"text"​:​ ​"@android_newb just use android.util.JsonWriter!"​,

​"geo"​:​ ​[​50.454722​,​ ​-​104.606667​],

​"user"​:​ ​{

​"name"​:​ ​"jesse"​,

​"followers_count"​:​ ​2

​}

​}

​]

   
This code encodes the above structure: 
​public​ ​void​ writeJsonStream​(​OutputStream​ ​out​,​ ​List​<​Message​>​ messages​)​ ​throws
IOException​ ​{

​JsonWriter​ writer ​=​ ​new​ ​JsonWriter​(​new​ ​OutputStreamWriter​(​out​,​ ​"UTF-8"​));

writer​.​setIndent​(​" "​);

writeMessagesArray​(​writer​,​ messages​);

writer​.​close​();

​}

​public​ ​void​ writeMessagesArray​(​JsonWriter​ writer​,​ ​List​<​Message​>​ messages​)​ ​throws

IOException​ ​{

writer​.​beginArray​();

​for​ ​(​Message​ message ​:​ messages​)​ ​{

writeMessage​(​writer​,​ message​);

​}

writer​.​endArray​();

​}

​public​ ​void​ writeMessage​(​JsonWriter​ writer​,​ ​Message​ message​)​ ​throws​ ​IOException​ ​{

writer​.​beginObject​();

writer​.​name​(​"id"​).​value​(​message​.g
​ etId​());

writer​.​name​(​"text"​).​value​(​message​.​getText​());

​if​ ​(​message​.​getGeo​()​ ​!=​ ​null​)​ ​{

writer​.​name​(​"geo"​);

writeDoublesArray​(​writer​,​ message​.​getGeo​());
 ​}​ ​else​ ​{

writer​.​name​(​"geo"​).​nullValue​();

​}

writer​.​name​(​"user"​);

writeUser​(​writer​,​ message​.​getUser​());

writer​.​endObject​();

​}

​public​ ​void​ writeUser​(​JsonWriter​ writer​,​ ​User​ user​)​ ​throws​ ​IOException​ ​{

writer​.​beginObject​();

writer​.​name​(​"name"​).​value​(​user​.g
​ etName​());

writer​.​name​(​"followers_count"​).​value​(​user​.​getFollowersCount​());

writer​.​endObject​();

​}

​public​ ​void​ writeDoublesArray​(​JsonWriter​ writer​,​ ​List​<​Double​>​ doubles​)​ ​throws

IOException​ ​{

writer​.​beginArray​();

​for​ ​(​Double​ value ​:​ doubles​)​ ​{

writer​.​value​(​value​);

​}

writer​.​endArray​();

​}

Each J​ sonWriter​ may be used to write a single JSON stream. Instances of this class are not thread 
safe. Calls that would result in a malformed JSON string will fail with an ​IllegalStateException​.
