public interface TreeNode
ObjectCodec
to have some level
of interoperability.
Most functionality is within JsonNode
base class in mapper
package.
Note that in Jackson 1.x JsonNode
itself
was part of core package: Jackson 2.x refactored this
since conceptually Tree Model is part of mapper package,
and so part visible to core
package should
be minimized.
NOTE: starting with Jackson 2.2, there is more functionality available via this class, and the intent is that this should form actual base for multiple alternative tree representations; for example, immutable trees could use different implementation than mutable trees. It should also be possible to move actual Tree Model implementation out of databind package eventually (Jackson 3?).
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
JsonToken |
asToken()
Method that can be used for efficient type detection
when using stream abstraction for traversing nodes.
|
TreeNode |
at(JsonPointer ptr)
Method for locating node specified by given JSON pointer instances.
|
TreeNode |
at(String jsonPointerExpression)
Convenience method that is functionally equivalent to:
|
Iterator<String> |
fieldNames()
Method for accessing names of all fields for this node, iff
this node is an Object node.
|
TreeNode |
get(int index)
Method for accessing value of the specified element of
an array node.
|
TreeNode |
get(String fieldName)
Method for accessing value of the specified field of
an object node.
|
boolean |
isArray()
Method that returns true if this node is an Array node, false
otherwise.
|
boolean |
isContainerNode()
Method that returns true for container nodes: Arrays and Objects.
|
boolean |
isMissingNode()
Method that returns true for "virtual" nodes which represent
missing entries constructed by path accessor methods when
there is no actual node matching given criteria.
|
boolean |
isObject()
Method that returns true if this node is an Object node, false
otherwise.
|
boolean |
isValueNode()
Method that returns true for all value nodes: ones that
are not containers, and that do not represent "missing" nodes
in the path.
|
JsonParser.NumberType |
numberType()
If this node is a numeric type (as per
JsonToken.isNumeric() ),
returns native type that node uses to store the numeric value;
otherwise returns null. |
TreeNode |
path(int index)
Method for accessing value of the specified element of
an array node.
|
TreeNode |
path(String fieldName)
Method for accessing value of the specified field of
an object node.
|
int |
size()
Method that returns number of child nodes this node contains:
for Array nodes, number of child elements, for Object nodes,
number of fields, and for all other nodes 0.
|
JsonParser |
traverse()
Method for constructing a
JsonParser instance for
iterating over contents of the tree that this node is root of. |
JsonParser |
traverse(ObjectCodec codec)
Same as
traverse() , but additionally passes ObjectCodec
to use if JsonParser.readValueAs(Class) is used (otherwise caller must call
JsonParser.setCodec(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.ObjectCodec) on response explicitly). |
JsonToken asToken()
JsonToken
that equivalent
stream event would produce (for most nodes there is just
one token but for structured/container types multiple)JsonParser.NumberType numberType()
JsonToken.isNumeric()
),
returns native type that node uses to store the numeric value;
otherwise returns null.int size()
boolean isValueNode()
Note: one and only one of methods isValueNode()
,
isContainerNode()
and isMissingNode()
ever
returns true for any given node.
boolean isContainerNode()
Note: one and only one of methods isValueNode()
,
isContainerNode()
and isMissingNode()
ever
returns true for any given node.
boolean isMissingNode()
Note: one and only one of methods isValueNode()
,
isContainerNode()
and isMissingNode()
ever
returns true for any given node.
boolean isArray()
isContainerNode()
must also return true.boolean isObject()
isContainerNode()
must also return true.TreeNode get(String fieldName)
NOTE: handling of explicit null values may vary between implementations; some trees may retain explicit nulls, others not.
TreeNode get(int index)
For array nodes, index specifies
exact location within array and allows for efficient iteration
over child elements (underlying storage is guaranteed to
be efficiently indexable, i.e. has random-access to elements).
If index is less than 0, or equal-or-greater than
node.size()
, null is returned; no exception is
thrown for any index.

isMissingNode()

For array nodes, index specifies

If index is less than 0, or equal-or-greater than
node.size()
, "missing node" is returned; no exception is
thrown for any index.

.TreeNode at(JsonPointer ptr)
isMissingNode()
returns true.isMissingNode()
returns true.TreeNode at(String jsonPointerExpression) throws IllegalArgumentException
return at(JsonPointer.valueOf(jsonPointerExpression));
Note that if the same expression is used often, it is preferable to construct
JsonPointer
instance once and reuse it: this method will not perform
any caching of compiled expressions.

- Expression to compile as a JsonPointer

JsonParser traverse()
JsonParser
instance for
iterating over contents of the tree that this node is root of.
Functionally equivalent to first serializing tree using
ObjectCodec
and then re-parsing but
more efficient.JsonParser traverse(ObjectCodec codec)
traverse()
, but additionally passes ObjectCodec
to use if JsonParser.readValueAs(Class)
is used (otherwise caller must call
JsonParser.setCodec(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.ObjectCodec)
