Class JsonDataSource

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.groupdocs.assembly.JsonDataSource

  • public class JsonDataSource
extends java.lang.Object
    Provides access to data of a JSON file or stream to be used while assembling a document.

    To access data of the corresponding file or stream while assembling a document, pass an instance of this class as a data source to one of DocumentAssembler. assembleDocument overloads.

    In template documents, if a top-level JSON element is an array, a JsonDataSource instance should be treated in the same way as if it was a DataTable instance. If a top-level JSON element is an object, a JsonDataSource instance should be treated in the same way as if it was a DataRow instance. For more information, see template syntax reference(https://docs.groupdocs.com/display/assemblyjava/Template+Syntax+-+Part+1+of+2#TemplateSyntax-Part1of2-UsingDataSources).

    In template documents, you can work with typed values of JSON elements. For convenience, the engine replaces the set of simple JSON types with the following one:

    • java.lang.Integer
    • java.lang.Long
    • java.lang.Double
    • java.lang.Boolean
    • java.util.Date
    • java.lang.String

    The engine automatically recognizes values of the extra types upon their JSON representations.
