Processing JSON using JSON-B

The following example reads the JSON representation of the Employee object from the emp.json file and uses the javax.json.bind.JsonBuilder to create an instance of javax.json.bind.Jsonb to map the Employee object to JSON representation and vice-versa:

1. Read the target JSON document using JsonReader
2. Create an instance of JSON-B using JsonbBuilder
3. Unmarshal the JSON object to the Employee Java object
4. Create a Jsonb instance with formatting enabled
5. Marshal the Employee Java object to JSON

The implementation of the preceding steps is demonstrated in the following program:

public class JSR367JsonbDefaultBindingExample { private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(JSR367JsonbDefaultBindingExample.class.getName()); ...
