In this blog we will learn about how to implement JSON in apex. JSON class has methods for serializing Apex objects into JSON format and deserializing JSON content that was serialized using the serialize method in this class, all the fields of the related objects are visible. Using the JSONGenerator class methods, you can generate standard JSON-encoded content and you can include the fields that you want to display.

public with sharing class JSONClass {

public list<Account> acc { get{
//Fetch the Account List
acc = [Select Id,Name,AccountNumber,AccountSource from Account where name != null limit 50000];
if(acc==null){
acc = new list<Account>();
}
return acc;
} set;}
public string jsonSerial {get{
//JSON Class method
if(acc==null){
jsonSerial = '';
}else{
jsonSerial = JSON.serialize(acc);
}
return jsonSerial;
} set; }
public string jsonGen { get{
//JSON Generator Class method
JSONGenerator gen = JSON.createGenerator(false);//true gives output in pretty print
if(acc==null){
return '';
}else{
gen.writeStartArray();
for(Account a: acc){
gen.writeStartObject();
gen.writeStringField('Name', a.name);
gen.writeStringField('Id', a.Id);
if(a.AccountNumber==null)
gen.writeStringField('Account Number', '');
else{
gen.writeStringField('Account Number',a.AccountNumber);
}
gen.writeEndObject();
}
gen.writeEndArray();
return gen.getAsString();
}
} set; }
}
