Json2Java
=========

I was fed up with writing Java classes to mirror json models.  So I wrote this Java app to automate the process.

<h3>What this tool can do right now:</h3>
Give it:
<ul>
<li>a url to a json file</li>
<li>a package name for the classes it will generate</li>
<li>the name of the base class to start with.</li>
<li>optionally, the p option will make your classes parcelable.</li>
<li>optionally, the g option will give your classes gson annotations for serialization.</li>
<li>optionally, the s option will override the toString method.</li>
</ul>



It will create the folder structure for the package you provide, then it will read the json at the url you provide, and output java classes into a zip file.

The easiest way to actuall use this is to go to http://jsontojava.appspot.com/  
There you can just put in the variables and click download.

When run from the commandline, it looks like this:

java -jar JsonToJava.jar -url http://example.com/folder.json -package com.example.api.model -class Folder -p -g


Each class will implement Parcelable for easy passing of information in Android (optional).
Each class will have a default empty constructor.
The members of each class will follow Android naming conventions with an "m" prefix and camel case.
Each member will have a corresponding static final String that relates it to it's json counterpart 
Each member will have a @SerializedName annotation for very easy Gson parsing. (optional)
If a member called "mId" or "mUniqueId" is found, then equals and hashcode will be overridden so comparisons are made on the id.

<h3>What I want this tool to do in the future in no particular order</h3>
<ul>
<li>Accept either a url or a block of json pasted in a text box</li>
<li>Extract superclasses</li>
<li>Accept multiple urls to build up the whole model</li>
<li>Allow the user to choose between Gson annotations, Jackson annotations, org.json constructors and toJson() methods, or none of the above</li>
<li>Give users the ability to rename classes</li>
<li>Give users the ability to ignore classes</li>
</ul>
