Package jakarta.json.stream

Interface JsonGeneratorFactory

public interface JsonGeneratorFactory
Factory to create JsonGenerator instances. If a factory instance is configured with some configuration, the configuration applies to all generator instances created using that factory instance.

The class Json also provides methods to create JsonGenerator instances, but using JsonGeneratorFactory is preferred when creating multiple generator instances as shown in the following example: 

 
 JsonGeneratorFactory factory = Json.createGeneratorFactory();
 JsonGenerator generator1 = factory.createGenerator(...);
 JsonGenerator generator2 = factory.createGenerator(...);

All the methods in this class are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

      Parameters:
      out - i/o stream to which JSON is written
      charset - a charset
      Returns:
      the created JSON generator

    • getConfigInUse

      Map<String,?> getConfigInUse()
      Returns a read-only map of supported provider specific configuration properties that are used to configure the JSON generators. If there are any specified configuration properties that are not supported by the provider, they won't be part of the returned map.
      Returns:
      a map of supported provider specific properties that are used to configure the created generators. The map may be empty but not null
