org.springframework.http.converter.json.AbstractJsonHttpMessageConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

GenericHttpMessageConverter<Object>, HttpMessageConverter<Object>

Direct Known Subclasses:

GsonHttpMessageConverter, JsonbHttpMessageConverter

public abstract class AbstractJsonHttpMessageConverter
extends AbstractGenericHttpMessageConverter<Object>

Common base class for plain JSON converters, e.g. Gson and JSON-B.

Note that the Jackson converters have a dedicated class hierarchy due to their multi-format support.

Since:

5.0

Method Detail

setJsonPrefix

public void setJsonPrefix(String jsonPrefix)

Specify a custom prefix to use for JSON output. Default is none.

See Also:

setPrefixJson(boolean)

setPrefixJson

public void setPrefixJson(boolean prefixJson)

Indicate whether the JSON output by this view should be prefixed with ")]}', ". Default is false.

Prefixing the JSON string in this manner is used to help prevent JSON Hijacking. The prefix renders the string syntactically invalid as a script so that it cannot be hijacked. This prefix should be stripped before parsing the string as JSON.

setJsonPrefix(java.lang.String)

read

public final Object read(Type type,
                         @Nullable
                         Class<?> contextClass,
                         HttpInputMessage inputMessage)
                  throws IOException,
                         HttpMessageNotReadableException

Description copied from interface: GenericHttpMessageConverter

Read an object of the given type form the given input message, and returns it.

Parameters:

type - the (potentially generic) type of object to return. This type must have previously been passed to the canRead method of this interface, which must have returned true.

contextClass - a context class for the target type, for example a class in which the target type appears in a method signature (can be null)

inputMessage - the HTTP input message to read from

Returns:

the converted object

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O errors

HttpMessageNotReadableException - in case of conversion errors

readInternal

protected final Object readInternal(Class<?> clazz,
                                    HttpInputMessage inputMessage)
                             throws IOException,
                                    HttpMessageNotReadableException

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

Abstract template method that reads the actual object. Invoked from AbstractHttpMessageConverter.read(java.lang.Class<? extends T>, org.springframework.http.HttpInputMessage).

Specified by:

readInternal in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

Parameters:

clazz - the type of object to return

inputMessage - the HTTP input message to read from

Returns:

the converted object

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O errors

HttpMessageNotReadableException - in case of conversion errors

writeInternal

protected final void writeInternal(Object object,
                                   @Nullable
                                   Type type,
                                   HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
                            throws IOException,
                                   HttpMessageNotWritableException

Description copied from class: AbstractGenericHttpMessageConverter

Abstract template method that writes the actual body. Invoked from AbstractGenericHttpMessageConverter.write(T, java.lang.reflect.Type, org.springframework.http.MediaType, org.springframework.http.HttpOutputMessage).

Specified by:

writeInternal in class AbstractGenericHttpMessageConverter<Object>

Parameters:

object - the object to write to the output message

type - the type of object to write (may be null)

outputMessage - the HTTP output message to write to

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O errors

                                throws Exception

Template method that reads the JSON-bound object from the given Reader.

Parameters:

resolvedType - the resolved generic type

reader - the Reader to use

Returns:

the JSON-bound object

Exception - in case of read/parse failures

writeInternal

protected abstract void writeInternal(Object object,
                                      @Nullable
                                      Type type,
