JsonValueMapValue Sling Models Injector

Purpose
Allows for Sling Models to inject a valuemap value (String or String array) that contain(s) valid JSON, to inject a compatible Object or list of Object. The object must correspond to the JSON.

A single string property can be parsed into a valid corresponding POJO.
A string array property can be parsed into a:
Collection (List will be used)

• List
• Set
• Array

Containing valid corresponding POJO. Injections are available when adapting either a Resource or SlingHttpServletRequest object.

Example
String singleValue = resource.getValueMap().get("singleValue", String.class);
// equals: {"property1": "somevalue", "property2": "othervalue"}

String multiValue = resource.getValueMap().get("multipleValues", String[].class);

// equals: {"property1": "somevalue", "property2": "othervalue"},
// {"property1": "anotherValue", "property2": "nothinginteresting"}
//our POJO that represents the JSON

public class SimpleJsonPojo {
private String property1;
private Integer property2;
}
@Model(adaptables = { SlingHttpServletRequest.class, Resource.class })
public class TestModel {
@JsonValueMapValue
private SimpleJsonPojo singleValue;
@JsonValueMapValue(name = "multipleValues")
private List<SimpleJsonPojo> multipleList;

@JsonValueMapValue(name = "multipleValues")
private Set<SimpleJsonPojo> multipleSet;

@JsonValueMapValue(name = "multipleValues")
private SimpleJsonPojo[] multipleArray;

public SimpleJsonPojo getSingleValue(){
return singleValue;
}

public Set<SimpleJsonPojo> getMultipleSet() {
return multipleSet;
}

public List<SimpleJsonPojo> getMultipleList() {
return multipleList;
}

public SimpleJsonPojo[] multipleArray() {
return multipleArray;
}
