I'm using JAX-RS to create restful webservices in Java. I am getting to much overhead in the produced JSON.
Data class:
@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Test {
private Map<String,String> data;
Test() {}
public Test(Map<String,String> data) {
this.data = data;
}
public Map<String, String> getData() {
return data;
}
}
Service:
@GET
@Path("/test")
@Produces("application/json; charset=UTF-8;")
public Test test() {
Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<String,String>();
map.put("foo", "bar");
map.put("bingo", "bongo");
return new Test(map);
}
Produces:
{"data":{"entry":[{"key":"foo","value":"bar"},{"key":"bingo","value":"bongo"}]}}
I would like it to produce:
{"data":{"foo":"bar","bingo":"bongo"}}
What is the simplest way to achive this? I am free to redifine my data class but I can't know in advance the keys or size of the map.
