Creating custom JSON using JAXRS

[mikes]

Can anyone give me pointers on how to create custom JSON(custom
provider) using JAXRS in Grails?

thanks

Hi mikes,

here's an incomplete list of options:

- Resource methods can return instances of grails.converters.JSON. The
grails-jaxrs plugin has a provider for converting between JSON
representations and grails.converters.JSON objects (see also
http://code.google.com/p/grails-jaxrs/wiki/AdvancedFeatures#Entity_providers)
* JSON instances can be created by calling 'as JSON' on a Grails
domain objects
* JSON instances can also be created with grails.web.JSONBuilder:
With JSONBuilder you can create any custom JSON repsonse you like

- If you want to write a custom provider please take a look at
http://code.google.com/p/grails-jaxrs/wiki/AdvancedFeatures#Custom_providers

* With a custom provider you can use any JSON lib you like.

Does that help?

Cheers,
Martin

Thanks, Martin. That's really helpful. I wrote a custom provider to
create custom JSON. That works great!

I need to now work on the PUT/POST stuff. Any pointers on this would
be really helpful.

Thanks again!

I guess you already read the JAX-RS spec and the Jersey docs. Do you
have any specific question or problem?
