I have Java POJO class like this:
class Topic {
@SerializedName("id")
long id;
@SerializedName("name")
String name;
}
and I have a Kotlin data class Like this
data class Topic(val id: Long, val name: String)
How to provide the json key
to any variables of the kotlin data class
like the @SerializedName
annotation in java variables ?
Data class:
data class Topic(
@SerializedName("id") val id: Long,
@SerializedName("name") val name: String,
@SerializedName("image") val image: String,
@SerializedName("description") val description: String
)
to JSON:
val gson = Gson()
val json = gson.toJson(topic)
from JSON:
val json = getJson()
val topic = gson.fromJson(json, Topic::class.java)
Based on answer of Anton Golovin
Details
- Gson version: 2.8.5
- Android Studio 3.1.4
- Kotlin version: 1.2.60
Solution
Create any class data and inherit JSONConvertable interface
interface JSONConvertable {
fun toJSON(): String = Gson().toJson(this)
}
inline fun <reified T: JSONConvertable> String.toObject(): T = Gson().fromJson(this, T::class.java)
Usage
Data class
data class User(
@SerializedName("id") val id: Int,
@SerializedName("email") val email: String,
@SerializedName("authentication_token") val authenticationToken: String) : JSONConvertable
From JSON
val json = "..."
val object = json.toObject<User>()
To JSON
val json = object.toJSON()
