Parse and convert stringified Java records into JSON.
With the introduction of Java records in Java 16, the default toString() implementation provides a more human-readable string representation of objects.This improved format, e.g. ExampleRecord(field1=value1, field2=value2), is useful for debugging and logging. However, this string representation should not be mistaken for serialization, as it is not intended for data exchange or persistence.
There may be scenarios where a record has been stringified, e.g. in logs, and needs to be recovered and serialized into a JSON for further processing. Record2JSON parses the string and converts it into a valid JSON string.
(Draft Roadmap)
- Validate Input String
- Ensure that the input string is a valid stringified record.
- Validate Record Structure
- Support providing a JSON Schema for the expected structure.
- Support providing field names and
Class<?>arguments for the expected structure.
- Further Configurations
- Support additional customizations.
- Prettify, for example
- Support additional customizations.
- Return a Valid JSON String
- Convert the parsed object into a JSON string.
