Android JSON Libraries

Let’s now come explore some of the JSON libraries used for:

JSON Parsing.

JSON Serialization

LoganSquare

LoganSquare is a fast JSON parsing and serialization library for Android. It’s developers claim it is the fastest avaiable JSON parsing and serialization library for android. They say LoganSquare is able to “consistently outperform GSON and Jackson’s Databind library by 400% or more”.

One of the keys to LoganSquare’s performance is the fact that it relies on compile-time annotation processing to generate code.

LoganSquare allows you to make use of the power of Jackson’s streaming API. However you do this without having to write tedius, low-level code involving JsonParsers or JsonGenerators. All you do os to annotate your model objects as a @JsonObject and your fields as @JsonFields. Then LoganSquare does the rest.

Installattion

LoganSquare is only available for gradle. So to install first go to your app level build.gradle and add it:

When I was a 2nd year Software Engineering student, I buillt a now defunct online tool called Camposha(from Campus Share) using my then favorite language C#(ASP.NET) to compete OLX in my country(Kenya). The idea was to target campus students in Kenya. I got a few hundred signups but competing OLX proved too daunting. I decided to focus on my studies, learning other languages like Java,Python,Kotlin etc while meanwhile publishing tutorials at my YouTube Channel ProgrammingWizards TV which led to this site(camposha.info).
