How to handle null values for JsonArray?

[javadevmtl]

Hi using the JsonArray to pass around parameters to my proxy service, in similar manner to the JDBCClient when calling a prepared statement...

Say I received the following fields...

final String email = body.getString("email");

final String password = body.getString("password");

final String phone = body.getString("phone");

JsonArray params = new JsonArray().add(email).add(password).add(phone);

Lets pretend that phone is optional. The getString will assign a null value. But JsonArray.add() (I looked at the source it rejects nulls) does not accept null values. You have to specifically call .addNull()

Is there a way to do this without nasty IF ELSE?

Unfortunately the underlying service requires that all parameters are passed even if they are null.

Maybe stupid question, why not use a JsonObject?

JsonArray keeps order of values, JsonObject doesn't guarantee order of fields(I know for sure for JsonObject). Or am I wrong?

The underlying service signature someFunction(String name, Object...)

So it is easy to do this...

JsonArray parameters = new JsonArray();

...

Object[] parameterz = new Object[parameters.size()];

int parameterIndex = 0;

for(Object o : parameters) {

    parameterz[parameterIndex++] = o;

}

Actually it's 100% JsonArray does preserve order JsonObject doesn't.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks

I guess I can write a wrapper around JsonArray and do the check myself.
