Morning
@thomas it could be worse...try XML in Java!
isn't there at least a (more) standard way of dealing with XML in java... and not 10 different libs to use?
Pretty std way to deal with JSON too - most people use Jackson
and there are 10 different XML libs per genre for XML (SAX vs DOM parsers) but ppl have standardised on a few. BTW Clojure is just as guilty of proliferation of libs (if not more so) - Cheshire, clj-json, data.json?
Not to mention ring-json
and I use jackson as well at the moment... but I can't just parse the JSON it seems... need to give it an java class to put things in. I did something like this a few years ago and back then I could just do a parse on a JSON string and get a bunch of jsonObject/jsonArrays back. haven' been able to find that option (yet)
I've seen projects paralysed by a choice...but this is always a ppl problem
my complaint isn't so much that there are (too) many libs... just that dealing with JSON in java is a pain. I just want a map/vector with stuff in it, seems much simpler to me
Yeah I've used JSONObject before...it's not too painful
And just to throw a spanner in the works: https://github.com/google/gson
@dominicm what is the advantage of have 3 different postmen coming past your house each day?
Yes and no. As I mentioned above, in real world, large projects too much choice can lead to churn.
but at the moment I can't get Spring to do what I want it to do... even though docs say it should work... 😡
@dominicm true... I was playing devils advocate a bit... (but not far from the truth here in NL, we get several each week)
I’ll be back in the UK from the 10th to the 21st… in case, you know… 🍻
(my father is at death’s door and I’m Joint Executor so…)
