In Spring 3, you can enable “mvc:annotation-driven” to support object conversion to/from JSON format, if Jackson JSON processor is existed on the project classpath.
In this tutorial, we show you how to output JSON data from Spring MVC.
Technologies used :
Spring 3.0.5.RELEASE
Jackson 1.7.1
JDK 1.6
Eclipse 3.6
Maven 3
1. Project Dependencies
To use JSON in Spring MVC, you need to include Jackson dependency.
<properties> <spring.version>3.0.5.RELEASE</spring.version> </properties> <dependencies> <!-- Jackson JSON Mapper --> <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId> <version>1.9.9</version> </dependency> <!-- Spring 3 dependencies --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
2. Model
A simple POJO, later convert this object into JSON output.
package com.mkyong.common.model; public class Shop { String name; String staffName[]; //getter and setter methods }
3. Controller
Add “@ResponseBody” in the return value, no much detail in the Spring documentation.
As i know, when Spring see Jackson library existed on classpath, “mvc:annotation-driven” is enabled. Return method annotated with @ResponseBody.It will handle the JSON conversion automatically.
package com.mkyong.common.controller; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody; import com.mkyong.common.model.Shop; @Controller @RequestMapping("/kfc/brands") public class JSONController { @RequestMapping(value="{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET) public @ResponseBody Shop getShopInJSON(@PathVariable String name) { Shop shop = new Shop(); shop.setName(name); shop.setStaffName(new String[]{"mkyong1", "mkyong2"}); return shop; } }
4. mvc:annotation-driven
Enable “mvc:annotation-driven” in your Spring configuration XML file.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd"> <context:component-scan base-package="com.mkyong.common.controller" /> <mvc:annotation-driven /> </beans>
