How to define a map in a YAML file for simple POJO

问题:

I am using snakeYaml to parse certain configuration/property values to a Configuration object.

My yaml file looks like this -

#Thread
batchLimit: 1000
threadCountLimit: 2

#Some More Config
key: value

#MAP
keyMapping: <What goes here?>

My Configuration class looks like this -

public class Configuration{
  int batchlimit;
  int threadCountLimit;
  ...
  Map<String,String> keyMapping;
}

How do I define the keyMapping in the YAML file so it reads directly through SnakeYAML?

回答1:

Here is how it can look like:

#MAP
keyMapping: 
    key1: value1
    key2: value2

Generally YAML format has natural support of key-value pairs. Take a look on the following tutorial (just for example): https://github.com/Animosity/CraftIRC/wiki/Complete-idiot's-introduction-to-yaml

Or just google "yaml map" for more details.

回答2:

Yaml file "AppParams.yml" with key-value pairs:

someConfig:
    key1: value1
    key2: value2

POJO:

public class ApplicationParameters {
    private Map<String, String> someConfig;

    public ApplicationParameters() {
    }

    public Map<String, String> getSomeConfig() {
        return someConfig;
    }

    public void setSomeConfig(Map<String, String> someConfig) {
        this.someConfig = someConfig;
    }
}

Reader:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(new YAMLFactory());
File paramFile = new File("AppParams.yml");
ApplicationParameters applicationParameters = mapper.readValue(paramFile, ApplicationParameters.class);

Map<String, String> someConfig = applicationParameters.getSomeConfig();

String key1Value = someConfig.get("key1");    //returns "value1"

The example above uses these dependencies in POM.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
