Parsing a Json file using Jackson

Question

Parsing a Json file using Jackson

{
   "TestSuite":{
      "TestSuiteInfo":{
         "-description":"parse"
      },
      "TestCase":[
         {
            "TestCaseData":{
               "-sequence":"sequential",
               "-testNumber":"2",
               "-testCaseFile":"testcase\\Web\\Ab.xml"
            }
         },
         {
            "TestCaseData":{
               "-sequence":"sequential",
               "-testNumber":"3",
               "-testCaseFile":"testcase\\Web\\BC.xml"
            }
         }
      ]
   }
}

My Pojos:

public class TestSuite {    

    private TestSuiteInfo testSuiteInfo;
    private TestCase listOfTestCases;

    public TestSuiteInfo getTestSuiteInfo() {   
        return testSuiteInfo;
    }

    public void setTestSuiteInfo(TestSuiteInfo testSuiteInfo) {
        this.testSuiteInfo = testSuiteInfo;
    }

    public TestCase getListOfTestCases() {
        return listOfTestCases;
    }

    public void setListOfTestCases(TestCase listOfTestCases) {
        this.listOfTestCases = listOfTestCases;
    }
}


public class TestSuiteInfo {

    private String description;

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }
    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }
}


import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

public class TestCase {

    private List<TestCaseData> testCaseData;

    public List<TestCaseData> getTestCaseData() {
        return testCaseData;
    }

    public void setTestCaseData(List<TestCaseData> testCaseData) {
        this.testCaseData = testCaseData;
    }
}


public class TestCaseData {

    private String sequence;
    private int testNumber;
    private String testCaseFile;

    public String getSequence() {   
        return sequence;
    }

    public void setSequence(String sequence) {
        this.sequence = sequence;
    }

    public int getTestNumber() {
        return testNumber;
    }

    public void setTestNumber(int testNumber) {
        this.testNumber = testNumber;
    }

    public String getTestCaseFile() {
        return testCaseFile;
    }

    public void setTestCaseFile(String testCaseFile) {
        this.testCaseFile = testCaseFile;
    }
}

I have not used Jackson before, I will be very grateful if someone can help me in parsing the file and getting objects. I try to make it out in the last two days, but have not received any success

Typically, to parse JSON with the Jackson library, you should use the class ObjectMapperas follows:

public static void main(final String[] args) {
    final String json = "some JSON string";
    final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    final TestSuite readValue = mapper.readValue(json, TestSuite.class);
    //Then some code that uses the readValue.
    //Keep in mind that the mapper.readValue() method does throw some exceptions
    //So you'll need to handle those too.    
}

However, I wrote a quick test class to test your JSON parsing and came across some problems.

Basically, JSON design and domain design do not match. That way you can either change the JSON or change the domain objects.

            "testNumber":"2",
            "testCaseFile":"testcase\\Web\\Ab.xml"
