Hi all,
I need to read some JSON data from a server. I need the data to be parsed into Maps of Lists of Maps (or Maps of Maps, or Lists of Lists of Maps, you get the idea). I was going through the scaladocs for the Scala library and found scala.util.parsing.json.JSON.parseFull, whose docs state that it "Parse the given JSON string and return either a List[Any] if the JSON string specifies an Array, or a Map[String,Any] if the JSON string specifies an object". I thought that was just what I needed, but it turns out it works only for the first level, and it leaves any lower structures as lists of pairs instead of Maps.
Has anyone here worked with a JSON parser that does what I need? I can always write a method to convert from one representation to the other, but I thought I'd ask around first.
Now that I think about it, I'll probably have to go with a Java library or build my own, since I actually need the Lists and Maps to be the Java variants (since I'm going to have to pass them to JRuby).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Mario.
