How to use the Circe Library In JSON
This approach utilizes the Circe library, which is a JSON library for Scala.
Syntax:
parse(jsonString)
Return Type:
JSON
The parse
function from the Circe library is used to parse the JSON string and convert it into a JSON object.
Dependency:
Add the following to your sbt configuration
val circeVersion = “0.14.3” libraryDependencies ++= Seq( “io.circe” %% “circe-core”, “io.circe” %% “circe-generic”, “io.circe” %% “circe-parser” ).map(_ % circeVersion)
Below is the Scala program to convert a JSON string to JSON object using the circle library:
import io.circe.parser._
val jsonString = "{\"name\": \"John\", \"age\": 30}"
val jsonObject = parse(jsonString)
println(jsonObject)
Output:
