Gson VS Lombok

Most of the time is spent in JSON parsing, specifically in AccessLogAggregator.parseLineJson. Within parsing, the majority of time is spent in org/json/JSONObject.. Since there are faster JSON libraries available, we'll switch to Gson and repeat the tests. To do this, we'll add the following method to our code:

In this concrete example we'll create 3 products. We can then convert this JSON to the list of products using Gson.

Gson has been in maintenance mode for at least 6 years. It's kind of a shame, because the API and implementation were a lot cleaner than Jackson.

For more information on native-image build arguments, please consult the GraalVM Native Image Options documentation. The next listing contains the contents of reflect.json, which contains a bunch of data classes that we need to serialize and deserialize with Gson, as well as our Lambda handler class which the runtime needs to instantiate based on the qualified class name passed to the Lambda function.

The loadModel() method is special. It needs to dynamically update the model path specified in the JSON-formatted template file according to the extraction path of the Jar package. Gson can be used to load and update the JSON object.

If you check out the Gson user's guide, there's a section titled "JSON Field Naming Support" which explains how to do this. There are also lots of examples if you google "gson rename field".

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but allot of projects that I worked on used gson to convert between Java objects and JSON strings (https://github.com/google/gson). Maybe you should check it out.

Since this JSON contains the JSON representation of Java objects that are unknown in PoSh/.NET, all you could do is extract the provided object data (values), but not the objects themselves. In order to extract the "real" objects as they're defined, you'd have to start from the Java side, and use a tool like Gson.

The above class maps the json data to a java object we can work with. We use Lombok to generate constructors, getters and setters for our code and the Jackson Project to handle serialization and deserialization of json to pojo . We know the response is an array of objects representing the coffee and so above data structure is fit for this.

Almost a decade ago, I started reducing my boilerplate (and saving time with Lombok. It made my life much easier, simple as that. Ever since I've been looking into finding the smoothest solutions for saving time rather than handling all of it myself.

Lombok is a widely used library that simplifies Java code. The @NonNull annotation helps enforce non-null parameters, generating appropriate null checks:

Project Lombok

I gotta agree with /u/rzwitserloot I don't see anything in the lombok repo that indicates they have their "own compiler". I see the "reaching into javac internals" but that's it.

i looked into that and found this: https://github.com/projectlombok/lombok/issues/2310

Funny enough; /u/rzwitserloot is the author of Lombok, one of the most widely used Java libraries in the world. So it's not really some kind of random-ass Redditor they're having a discussion with either.

This removes the need to add the 'Project Lombok' library (and going through a phase of installing it in your Eclipse IDE; old school devs know what I am talking about) and speeds up development time. Java 14 added a new feature of 'Records' which allows you to do the same, but it doesn't offer a 'copy' method to ease your object creation and also enforces the 'final' keyword for variables making them immutable.

I get the main criticisms of Java, i.e. its verbosity and the requirement for a lot of boilerplate code, and understand why some people switched to Kotlin. But by using libraries such as lombok you can get rid of most of it and suddenly the incentives for switching aren't that big anymore. And in the end it's all JVM bytecode anyways.
