$jsontool.serialize brings two important advantages:
(1) No need to manually escape the values you put in your JSON.
Otherwise you need to write something like:
'key1': '$escapetool.json($value1)',
'key2': '$escapetool.json($value2)',
...
which is error prone. We used to generate the live table results this
way and we forgot to escape a few values causing important bugs.
(2) It's way easier to customize/modify the Java object before
serializing it than customizing the code that generates the JSON
string. Take this example:
{
totalCount: 32,
rows: [
{id: 'foo', name:'Foo Abc', age: 29},
{id: 'bar', name: 'Bar Xyz', age: 17},
...
]
}
Now, imagine that at some point you'll have to add a new property per
row, but just for one use case. You should not modify the default
JSON. You just need to extend it somehow. If you build the JSON in
memory then there's no problem, you can write:
#foreach ($row in $jsonObject.rows)
#set ($row.additionalProperty = 'some value')
#end
just before serializing the $jsonObject. In other words you can reuse
entirely the code that generates the default JSON. While in you case,
you'd have to rewrite some of the Velocity macros that 'print' the
JSON, duplicating code, which is a maintenance hell.
Hope this convinces you to use $jsontool.serialize() :)
