How can I convert a given object (in a generic way with reflection) to pretty printable HTML?
What ready made library do you recommend that does this? I need support for simple nested objects (as long as they don’t create loops in the object graph).
I tried to convert it to JSON, but DefaultPrettyPrinter is not HTML friendly.
You could relatively easily write your own library for doing so. Here’s some example code that you could modify relatively easily to show html. Another option is to display the JSON inside a code tag in html. One final option is to use ReflectionToStringBuilder in apache commons lang and again show the result inside of a code tag in html. Using apache commons is probably no better than the json format however.
