Jayansh Shinde updated OFBIZ-10966:
-----------------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: Lets have a look at main services used during Xml data import:
entityImport[WebtoolsServices.java]
entityImportDir[WebtoolsServices.java]
parseEntityXmlFile[WebtoolsServices.java]
Above services are responsible for importing parsing and validating xml data
using SAX XML parser class org.apache.ofbiz.entity.util.EntitySaxReader
Similarly export is done by entityExportAll service.
org.apache.ofbiz.entity.GenericEntity#writeXmlText is ultimately responsible
for converting entity data to xml data.
Please refer service definition file for more
details:../framework/webtools/servicedef/services.xml)
> JSON entity data import and export utility
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-10966
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10966
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: framework
> Reporter: Jayansh Shinde
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, we support import/export entity data in XML format.
> Nowadays JSON is widely used in industry, we can have support for JSON
> format which looks quite similar to XML support.
> Here is example of XML data and it's JSON version
> {code:java}
> <Party partyId="123456" partyTypeId="PERSON" statusId="PARTY_ENABLED"/>
> {code}
> {code:java}
> {“Party”:
> {"partyId":"123456","partyTypeId":"PERSON","statusId":"PARTY_ENABLED”}}
> {code}
>
> *Design Proposal*
> We can write *entityImportJson* and *entityImportDirJson* services for
> importing JSON from screen and directory respectively.
> And the *entityExportAllJson* service for exporting entity data in JSON.
>
> *Import Design*
> The import service will perform following operations:
> 1.) Validate the input JSON data (I am in process of exploring the way for
> this)
> 2.) On successful validation, convert JSON to OFBiz's entity model
> (GenericValue)
> 3.) The GenericValue will be inserted in database by some handler class for
> e.g we can write JsonDataHandler, it will convert given JSON to
> List<GenericValue>, and finally write it to database (Similar pattern is used
> in XML import).
>
> *Export Design*
> Based on existing XML pattern the writeXmlText method of GenericEntity class
> write the exported data in XML format.
> In the similar way, we can implement writeJsonText to export data in JSON
> format.
> Please free feel to share your thought.
