How to implement JSON in Apex Salesforce

In this blog we will learn about how to Salesforce JSON implement in the 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.

JSON Apex in Salesforce:

Apex Class : Write the following code in apex class:

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; } 
    
}
