JsonToKotlinClass

Hi, Welcome! This is a plugin to generate Kotlin data class from JSON string, in another word, a plugin that converts JSON string to Kotlin data class (Json to Kotlin). We also have a Java/Kotlin library. With this you can generate Kotlin data class from JSON string programmatically.

implementation 'com.sealwu.jsontokotlin:library:3.7.4'

Overview

This is a very cool tool for Kotlin developers, it can convert a JSON string to Kotlin data class. The tool could not only recognize the primitive types but also auto create complex types. It’s easily accessible, we provide shortcut keymap ALT + K for Windows and Option + K for Mac, have a try and you’ll fall in love with it! JsonToKotlinClass just makes programming more enjoyable, enjoy coding! image

Features

Generate Example

This is the example JSON from json.org

{
    "glossary":{
        "title":"example glossary",
        "GlossDiv":{
            "title":"S",
            "GlossList":{
                "GlossEntry":{
                    "ID":"SGML",
                    "SortAs":"SGML",
                    "GlossTerm":"Standard Generalized Markup Language",
                    "Acronym":"SGML",
                    "Abbrev":"ISO 8879:1986",
                    "GlossDef":{
                        "para":"A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
                        "GlossSeeAlso":[
                            "GML",
                            "XML"
                        ]
                    },
                    "GlossSee":"markup"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

And with this plugin converting, Kotlin data classes would generate like this by default

data class Example(
    val glossary: Glossary
)

data class Glossary(
    val GlossDiv: GlossDiv,
    val title: String
)

data class GlossDiv(
    val GlossList: GlossList,
    val title: String
)

data class GlossList(
    val GlossEntry: GlossEntry
)

data class GlossEntry(
    val Abbrev: String,
    val Acronym: String,
    val GlossDef: GlossDef,
    val GlossSee: String,
    val GlossTerm: String,
    val ID: String,
    val SortAs: String
)

data class GlossDef(
    val GlossSeeAlso: List<String>,
    val para: String
)
