Serializing a scala object into a JSon String using lift-json
You can "decompose" a case class into JSON and then render it. Example:
scala> import net.liftweb.json.JsonAST._scala> import net.liftweb.json.Extraction._scala> import net.liftweb.json.Printer._ scala> implicit val formats = net.liftweb.json.DefaultFormatsscala> case class MyBean(name: String, age: Int)scala> pretty(render(decompose(MyBean("joe", 35))))res0: String = { "name":"joe", "age":35}But sometimes it is easier to use DSL syntax:
scala> import net.liftweb.json.JsonDSL._scala> val json = ("name" -> "joe") ~ ("age" -> 35)scala> pretty(render(json))res1: String = { "name":"joe", "age":35}
