Grails 3 with JSON rendering with Expando , how to to skip metadata

[Harry]

Hi All,

 I have an issue in rendering expando as JSON , i have JSON.registerObjectMarshaller in my Bootstrap.groovy approvers is a Expando array, My JSON output is full of MetaExpandoProperty , but i want to skip that and just render the property key and values, Please me know on how to achieve this , appreciate your response

Bootstrap.groovy 

JSON.registerObjectMarshaller(Timesheet, {  Timesheet t ->

return [

id: t.id,  

approvers:t.approvers

]

 });

JSON outout :

{

  "id": 10,

  

  "approvers": [

    {

      "metaPropertyValues": [

        {

          "class": "groovy.lang.MetaExpandoProperty",

          "modifiers": 1,

          "name": "role",

          "type": "java.lang.Object"

        },

        {

          "class": "groovy.lang.MetaExpandoProperty",

          "modifiers": 1,

          "name": "name",

          "type": "java.lang.Object"

        }

      ],

      "properties": {

        "role": "XXXX",

        "name": "XXXXX",

        

      }

    }

  ]

}

I've never really gotten this to work. I've always had to marshal to a Map or simple bean object and then do the JSON work. Painful to be sure.

Have you tried using JSON views? http://views.grails.org

I did like the suggestion , converted expando to Map and then sticked that to the Json ..

Thanks for the suggestion .. it worked
