Class JsonParser

java.lang.Object
com.eatthepath.json.JsonParser
public class JsonParser extends Object

An extremely simple JSON parser that interprets JSON objects as Java primitives. JSON types are mapped to Java types as follows:

Mapping of JSON types to Java types
JSON type Java type
string String
number Number (Long or Double)
object Map<String, Object>
array List<Object>
boolean boolean
null null

JsonParser instances are not thread-safe; only one thread may safely use a single parser at a time, but parsers can be reused (i.e. callers do not need to construct a new parser for each parsing operation).
