如何使用Java更新JSON文件中的嵌套JSON对象？

Question

我有一个包含User对象数组的JSON文件。每个User对象都包含一个包含对象的Goals数组，每个Goal对象中都有一个包含1到多个里程碑对象的Milestone数组。

我能够利用JSON-Simple轻松地解析它们并以Java对象的形式存储信息，但我发现重写JSON文件中的某些块或附加到其中一个数组很有挑战性。我在网上找到的例子过于简单，并没有考虑到这么多的嵌套。

如果我想在我的JSON文件或里程碑数组中的特定里程碑中重写Goal对象，我将如何根据相应Java对象模型中指定的属性更新文件？是否可以在其中一个数组中的JSON文本文件中修改/附加特定块？

JSON中的数组简单是JSONArray类型的类（这只是一个java util ArrayList），所以一旦得到数组和对象（这是一个java util HashMap），你就可以修改它。

JSONArray users = (JSONArray) JSONValue.parse(json);
JSONObject firstUser = (JSONObject) users.get(0);

JSONArray firstUserGoals = (JSONArray) firstUser.get("Goals");
JSONObject firstUserFirstGoal = (JSONObject) firstUserGoals.get(0);

JSONArray firstUserFirstGoalMilestones = (JSONArray) firstUserFirstGoal.get("milestones");
JSONObject firstUserFirstGoalFirstMilestone = (JSONObject) firstUserFirstGoalMilestones.get(0);

因此，您可以编辑里程碑

firstUserFirstGoalFirstMilestone.put("milestoneName", "Chapter 0");

您可以创建新的里程碑

JSONObject milestone1 = new JSONObject();
milestone1.put("milestoneName", "Chapter 1");
milestone1.put("Difficulty", "H");
milestone1.put("dueDate", "02/18/2018");
milestone1.put("completed", true);

然后将其添加到位置1的里程碑列表中。如果未指定索引，则最后添加。

firstUserFirstGoalMilestones.add(1, milestone1);

最后，您可以将JSON作为字符串。

String finalJson = users.toJSONString();

或写入文件（应处理异常）

Writer writer = new FileWriter(path);
users.writeJSONString(writer);
writer.close();
