How to Read date Values from a JSON File into Java HashMap

Working with JSON data in Java can sometimes be tricky, especially when it comes to correctly mapping the data to your Java objects. If you’re trying to read date values from a JSON file and populate a Java HashMap, you might run into some unexpected errors. This guide dives into resolving common issues you might encounter when using the Jackson library to parse JSON files.

The Problem: Unrecognized Property Exception

Imagine you have a JSON file structured like this:

Here's the structure of your Java classes trying to read this data:

JsonInfo which contains a Calendar object

Calendar which is supposed to hold a TreeMap called dateToDayId for the date mappings

Despite this structure, invoking your code yields the following error:

This error indicates that Jackson is not able to recognize the JSON field because there is a mismatch between your JSON structure and your Java class definitions.

The Solution: Modify the Class Structure

To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that your class mapping corresponds correctly to the structure of the JSON file. Below is a breakdown of the necessary adjustments and an improved code example.

Updated Classes

You need to introduce a field in your Calendar class that matches the JSON key dateToDayId, changing the class definitions as follows:

1. JsonInfo Class

This class should remain simple, just holding the Calendar object.

2. Calendar Class

Update the Calendar class to include the proper mapping for dateToDayId:

Implementation in Main Class

Here's how you would implement this in your Main class:

Summary

Reading date values from a JSON file into a Java HashMap can be straightforward if the class structure matches the JSON format. The key takeaway is to ensure that you properly map JSON keys to Java fields by using the appropriate naming conventions.

With the updated class definitions and implementation, you should now be able to read your JSON file without errors. If you encounter any further issues, remember to check the JSON structure carefully against your Java classes!
