Question

I want convert json to xml
here is code

public class ConvertJSONtoXML {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    InputStream is = ConvertJSONtoXML.class.getResourceAsStream("demo1.txt");

        String jsonData = IOUtils.toString(is);
        XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer();
        JSON json = JSONSerializer.toJSON(jsonData);

    String xml = serializer.write((JSON) json);
        System.out.println(xml);

Here is demo1.txt

{"name":"naveed" }

It reads demo1.txt file and convert into xml but i m trying to pass json as string.

String jsonString="{\"name\":\"naveed\" }";
InputStream is = ConvertJSONtoXML.class.getResourceAsStream(jsonString);

but it wont work for string..

i thing getResourceAsStream(jsonString) doesnt work for string….
please suggest any reference

Answer 1

The method getResourceAsStream() actually looks on the file system for resource identified by the input string and open an input stream for it.

You should rather use something like

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream( jsonString.getBytes() );

Also, you should take care of using compatible charsets.
