The constructor accepts a
Set of Strings representing JCR properties to exclude from the JSON output. You may want to ignore the standard
cq:*,
sling:* and
jcr:* properties while allowing only your custom properties to populate the JSON.
The overloaded dump methods allow you to pass in the recursion level similar to how you would use a selector when making AJAX calls to the
Default Get Servlet. Just as you can cURL
/content/geometrixx/en.json,
/content/geometrixx/en.1.json and
/content/geometrixx/en.-1.json, you can pass in a positive integer for the recursion level as well as
-1 for infinite recursion.
Likewise, just as you can cURL
/content/geometrixx/en.tidy.json, you can specify whether you want the JSON output nicely formatted or not.
The following examples demonstrate the JsonItemWriter utilizing a PrintWriter in a servlet and a JSONObject in a standard Java class.
