Java - Tree Structure to JSON object
I have a tree structure modeled on the following template: https://github.com/gt4dev/yet-another-tree-structure/blob/master/java/src/com/tree/TreeNode.java
I'd like to dump the entire tree into a JSON object. I have looked into using Jackson but I have a hard time finding adequate usage examples for this particular task.
EDIT: I should have been clearer that what I'm looking for is a JSON file that has the same structure as the original tree, as such what I'm looking for is something like:
{
"root": data {
"child 1": "data child 1",
"child 2": "data child 2" {
"child of child 2": "data..."
and so on...

JSON is a string format - a linear one.
A tree is not a linear data type.
With these, you need to decide on how a tree looks like as a string.
You can try:
- Make a tuple string:
"A(B(E,F),C(G,H))"
- Traversing a tree and making an array out of it:
["A", "B", C"]
- Creating a table/map of parent-children pairings:
[{"node":"A","children":["B","C"]},{"node":"B","children":["E","F"]}]
- ...or maybe something else, be creative!
