n - A Number
Returns:
A String.
Throws:
JSONException - If n is a non-finite number.

quote

public static String quote(String string)
Produce a string in double quotes with backslash sequences in all the right places. A backslash will be inserted within CAUTION: if string represents a javascript function, translation of characters will not take place. This will produce a non-conformant JSON text.

A String correctly formatted for insertion in a JSON text.

stripQuotes

Throw an exception if the object is an NaN or infinite number.

Parameters:
o - The object to test.
Throws:
JSONException - If o is a non-finite number.

transformNumber

public static Number transformNumber(Number input)
Transforms a Number into a valid javascript number.
Float gets promoted to Double.
Byte and Short get promoted to Integer.
Long gets downgraded to Integer if possible.


valueToString

public static String valueToString(Object value)
Make a JSON text of an Object value. If the object has an value.toJSONString() method, then that method will be used to produce the JSON text. The method is required to produce a strictly conforming text. If the object does not contain a toJSONString method (which is the most common case), then a text will be produced by the rules.

Warning: This method assumes that the data structure is acyclical.

Parameters:
value - The value to be serialized.
Returns:
a printable, displayable, transmittable representation of the object, beginning with { (left brace) and ending with } (right brace).
Throws:
JSONException - If the value is or contains an invalid number.

valueToString

public static String valueToString(Object value,
                                   int indentFactor,
                                   int indent)
Make a prettyprinted JSON text of an object value.

Warning: This method assumes that the data structure is acyclical.

Parameters:
value - The value to be serialized.
indentFactor - The number of spaces to add to each level of indentation.
indent - The indentation of the top level.
Returns:
a printable, displayable, transmittable representation of the object, beginning with { (left brace) and ending with } (right brace).
Throws:
JSONException - If the object contains an invalid number.
