I have a byte array which was converted from a JSONArray. Now how to convert it back to JSONArray. Is there any simple lib to do this. Or do i have to use base64 as this post says? Here is the code to convert JSONArray to bytearray:
JSONArray arr = //some value;
byte[] bArr = arr.toString().getBytes();
Since you are not specifying no CharSet on converting the Json array string to bytes. Simply use :
arr = new JSONArray(new String(bArr));
The typical way to send binary in json is to base64 encode it. Java provides different ways to Base64 encode and decode a byte[]. One of these is DatatypeConverter.
Very simply
byte[] originalBytes = new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
String base64Encoded = DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(originalBytes);
byte[] base64Decoded = DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(base64Encoded);
private JsonArray convertByteArrayToJsonArray(byte[] yourByteArray) throws IOException {
try (ZipInputStream zipInputStream = new ZipInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(yourByteArray))) {
zipInputStream.getNextEntry();
try (JsonReader reader = Json.createReader(zipInputStream)) {
return reader.readArray();
}
}
}
