How to enable pretty printing in Google gson APIs?


This page shows how to enable pretty printing in Google gson APIs.

Note: Refer How to convert java object to json string using Gson APIs? page for dependent libraries.

Here is the example to enable pretty printing in Google gson APIs:

package com.java2novice.json.gson;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder;

public class MapToJsonEx {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		Map<String, String> inputMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
		inputMap.put("name", "Java2Novice");
		inputMap.put("site", "http://java2novice.com");
		// convert map to JSON String
		// notice that we enabled pretty printing in the below line
		Gson gsonObj = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
		String jsonStr = gsonObj.toJson(inputMap);
		System.out.println(jsonStr);
	}
}

Output:
{
  "site": "http://java2novice.com",
  "name": "Java2Novice"
}

wait Vs sleep methods
sleep(): It is a static method on Thread class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state for specified amount of time. During this time, the thread keeps the lock (monitors) it has acquired.

wait(): It is a method on Object class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state. Wait is called on a object, not a thread. Before calling wait() method, the object should be synchronized, means the object should be inside synchronized block. The call to wait() releases the acquired lock.
