Extended jsonschema2pojo Gradle plugin

Introduction

This plugin is aiming to take raw JSON or YAML raw files or schemas and convert to Java or Scala POJOs (Plain Old Java Object).

Currently it suppots features like generating using Jackson, GSON and Mocha1 annotations and JSR305.

Please note, that JSR305 is purely supported, and present only if you don’t want to use a proper JSON validation for some reasons.

Adding a plugin to your build.gradle

plugins {
  id "org.jsonschema2dataclass" version "$latestRelease"
}

Please refer Gradle Plugins page for further details.

Usage Example

Usage for Android and for Java is basically the same. You need to declare plugin usage and configure plugin parameters if needed.

To execute just a java classes generation you need to run generateJsonSchema2DataClass gradle task. Otherwise, compileJava and appropriate android tasks are already dependent to this plugin.

To start using a plugin you need follow this recipe:

Minimal java example how to use the plugin

plugins{
    id "org.jsonschema2dataclass" version "$latestRelease"
}

jsonschema2pojo {
    targetPackage = 'org.example.api' // specify package for your needs

    source.setFrom files("${project.rootDir}/src/main/resources/json")

    // ... — add other supported options as you need
}

Additionally you can copy one of sample Java and Android projects you can find in demo folder

Caution

⚠️ Formatting is broken in some cells, I need help to fix it up

Table 1. Accepted parameters for jsonschema2pojo configuration block

Name	Type	Default	Description
annotationStyle	String	jackson2	The style of annotations to use in the generated Java types. Supported values: jackson2 (apply annotations from the Jackson 2.x library) jackson (alias for jackson2) gson (apply annotations from the gson library) moshi1 (apply annotations from the moshi 1.x library) none (apply no annotations at all)
classNamePrefix	String		Whether to add a prefix to generated classes.
classNameSuffix	String		Whether to add a suffix to generated classes.
constructorsRequiredPropertiesOnly	boolean	false	The 'constructorsRequiredPropertiesOnly' configuration option. This is a legacy configuration option used to turn on the isIncludeAllPropertiesConstructor() and off the * #isConstructorsIncludeAllPropertiesConstructor()configuration options. It is specifically tied to the isIncludeConstructors() * property, and will do nothing if that property is not enabled
customAnnotator	String	org.jsonschema2pojo.NoopAnnotator	A fully qualified class name, referring to a custom annotator class that implements org.jsonschema2pojo.Annotator and will be used in addition to the one chosen by annotationStyle. If you want to use the custom annotator alone, set annotationStyle to none.
customDatePattern	String		A custom pattern to use when formatting date fields during serialization. Requires support from your JSON binding library.
customDateTimePattern	String		A custom pattern to use when formatting date-time fields during serialization. Requires support from your JSON binding library.
customRuleFactory	String	org.jsonschema2pojo.rules.RuleFactory	A fully qualified class name, referring to an class that extends org.jsonschema2pojo.rules.RuleFactory and will be used to create instances of Rules used for code generation.
customTimePattern	String		A custom pattern to use when formatting time fields during serialization. Requires support from your JSON binding library.
dateTimeType	String		What type to use instead of string when adding string type fields of format date-time to generated Java types.
dateType	String		What type to use instead of string when adding string type fields of format date (not date-time) to generated Java types.
fileExtensions	List<String>		The strings (no preceeding dot) that should be considered as file name extensions, and therefore ignored, when creating Java class names.
fileFilter	FileFilter		List of file patterns to exclude. This only applies to the initial scan of the file system and will not prevent inclusion through a "$ref" in one of the schemas.
formatDateTimes	boolean	false	Whether the fields of type date are formatted during serialization with a default pattern of yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSSZ.
formatDates	boolean	false	Whether the fields of type date are formatted during serialization with a default pattern of yyyy-MM-dd.
formatTimes	boolean	false	Whether the fields of type time are formatted during serialization with a default pattern of HH:mm:ss.SSS.
formatTypeMapping	Map		(no description)
generateBuilders	boolean	false	Whether to generate builder-style methods of the form withXxx(value) (that return this), alongside the standard, void-return setters.
includeAdditionalProperties	boolean	true	Whether to allow 'additional properties' support in objects. Setting this to false will disable additional properties support, regardless of the input schema(s).
includeAllPropertiesConstructor	boolean	true	The 'constructorsIncludeRequiredPropertiesConstructor' configuration option. This property works in collaboration with the isIncludeConstructors() configuration option and is incompatible with isConstructorsRequiredPropertiesOnly(), and will have no effect if isIncludeConstructors() is not set to true. If isIncludeConstructors() is set to true then this configuration determines whether the resulting object should include a constructor with all listed properties as parameters.
includeConstructorPropertiesAnnotation	boolean	false	(no description)
includeConstructors	boolean	false	Whether to generate constructors or not
includeCopyConstructor	boolean	false	The 'constructorsIncludeRequiredPropertiesConstructor' configuration option. This property works in collaboration with the isIncludeConstructors() configuration option and is incompatible with isConstructorsRequiredPropertiesOnly(), and will have no effect if isIncludeConstructors() is not set to true. If isIncludeConstructors() is set to true then this configuration determines whether the resulting object should include a constructor the class itself as a parameter, with the expectation that all properties from the originating class will assigned to the new class.
includeDynamicAccessors	boolean		Whether to include dynamic getters, setters, and builders or to omit these methods.
includeDynamicBuilders	boolean	false	Whether to include dynamic builders or to omit these methods.
includeDynamicGetters	boolean	false	Whether to include dynamic getters or to omit these methods.
includeDynamicSetters	boolean	false	Whether to include dynamic setters or to omit these methods.
includeGeneratedAnnotation	boolean	false	(no description)
includeGetters	boolean	true	Whether to include getters or to omit this accessor method and create public fields instead
includeHashcodeAndEquals	boolean	true	Whether to include hashCode and equals methods in generated Java types.
includeJsr303Annotations	boolean	false	Whether to include JSR-303/349 annotations (for schema rules like minimum, maximum, etc) in generated Java types. Schema rules and the annotation they produce: maximum = @DecimalMax minimum = @DecimalMin minItems,maxItems = @Size minLength,maxLength = @Size pattern = @Pattern required = @NotNull Any Java fields which are an object or array of objects will be annotated with @Valid to support validation of an entire document tree.
includeJsr305Annotations	boolean	false	Whether to include JSR-305 annotations (for schema rules like Nullable, NonNull, etc) in generated Java types.
includeRequiredPropertiesConstructor	boolean	false	The 'constructorsIncludeRequiredPropertiesConstructor' configuration option. This property works in collaboration with the isIncludeConstructors() configuration option and is incompatible with isConstructorsRequiredPropertiesOnly(), and will have no effect if isIncludeConstructors() is not set to true. If isIncludeConstructors() is set to true then this configuration determines whether the resulting object should include a constructor with only the required properties as parameters.
includeSetters	boolean	true	Whether to include setters or to omit this accessor method and create public fields instead
includeToString	boolean	true	Whether to include a toString method in generated Java types.
includeTypeInfo	boolean	false	Whether to include json type information; often required to support polymorphic type handling. By default the type information is stored in the @class property, this can be overridden in the deserializationClassProperty of the schema.
inclusionLevel	String	NON_NULL	The Level of inclusion to set in the generated Java types for Jackson serializers. Supported values ALWAYS NON_ABSENT NON_DEFAULT NON_EMPTY NON_NULL USE_DEFAULTS
initializeCollections	boolean	true	Whether to initialize Set and List fields as empty collections, or leave them as null.
outputEncoding	String	UTF-8	The character encoding that should be used when writing the generated Java source files.
parcelable	boolean	false	EXPERIMENTAL Whether to make the generated types 'parcelable' (for Android development).
propertyWordDelimiters	String	- _	The characters that should be considered as word delimiters when creating Java Bean property names from JSON property names. If blank or not set, JSON properties will be considered to contain a single word when creating Java Bean property names.
refFragmentPathDelimiters	String	#/.	A string containing any characters that should act as path delimiters when resolving $ref fragments. By default, #, / and . are used in an attempt to support JSON Pointer and JSON Path.
removeOldOutput	boolean	false	Whether to empty the target directory before generation occurs, to clear out all source files that have been generated previously. Be warned, when activated this option will cause jsonschema2pojo to indiscriminately delete the entire contents of the target directory (all files and folders)before it begins generating sources.
serializable	boolean		Whether to make the generated types 'serializable'.
source	ConfigurableFileCollection		Location of the JSON Schema file(s). Note: this may refer to a single file or a directory of files.
sourceSortOrder	String	OS	The sort order to be applied when recursively processing the source files. By default the OS can influence the processing order. Supported values: OS (Let the OS influence the order the source files are processed.) FILES_FIRST (Case sensitive sort, visit the files first. The source files are processed in a breadth first sort order.) SUBDIRS_FIRST (Case sensitive sort, visit the sub-directories before the files. The source files are processed in a depth first sort order.)
sourceType	String	jsonschema	The type of input documents that will be read Supported values: jsonschema (schema documents, containing formal rules that describe the structure of JSON data) json (documents that represent an example of the kind of JSON data that the generated Java types will be mapped to) yamlschema (JSON schema documents, represented as YAML) yaml (documents that represent an example of the kind of YAML (or JSON) data that the generated Java types will be mapped to)
targetDirecotryPrefix	String	$buildDir/generated/source/js2d	Directory prefix under build directory where underlying tool will generate sources
targetPackage	String		Package name used for generated Java classes (for types where a fully qualified name has not been supplied in the schema using the 'javaType' property).
targetVersion	String		The target version for generated source files.
timeType	String		What type to use instead of string when adding string type fields of format time (not date-time) to generated Java types.
toStringExcludes	List<String>		The fields to be excluded from toString generation
useBigDecimals	boolean	false	Whether to use the java type BigDecimal instead of float (or Float) when representing the JSON Schema type 'number'. Note that this configuration overrides isUseDoubleNumbers().
useBigIntegers	boolean	false	Whether to use the java type BigInteger instead of int (or Integer) when representing the JSON Schema type 'integer'. Note that this configuration overrides isUseLongIntegers().
useDoubleNumbers	boolean	true	Whether to use the java type double (or Double) instead of float (or Float) when representing the JSON Schema type 'number'.
useInnerClassBuilders	boolean	false	If set to true, then the gang of four builder pattern will be used to generate builders on generated classes. Note: This property works in collaboration with the isGenerateBuilders() method. If the isGenerateBuilders() is false, then this property will not do anything.
useJodaDates	boolean	false	Whether to use DateTime instead of Date when adding date type fields to generated Java types.
useJodaLocalDates	boolean	false	Whether to use LocalDate instead of string when adding string type fields of format date (not date-time) to generated Java types.

useLongIntegers	boolean	false	Whether to use the java type long (or Long) instead of int (or Integer) when representing the JSON Schema type 'integer'.
useOptionalForGetters	boolean	false	Whether to use Optional as return type for getters of non-required fields.
usePrimitives	boolean	false	Whether to use primitives (long, double, boolean) instead of wrapper types where possible when generating bean properties (has the side-effect of making those properties non-null).
useTitleAsClassname	boolean	false	Use the title as class name. Otherwise, the property and file name is used.
