JON - Java Object Notation

JON (Java Object Notation) is a silly and experimental project that allows Java classes to act as configuration files, automatically serializing static fields into JSON.

Features

• Uses Java classes as configuration files.
• Serializes static fields into JSON format.
• Handles primitive types, arrays, and nested objects.
• Not production-ready – Just for fun and educational purposes!

Example Usage

Define a Java class with static fields:

public class Database {
    public static int port = 65537;
    public static boolean enabled = true;
    public static String name = "example";
    public static String version = "1.0";
    public static float weight = 69.1f;
    public static double[] sizes = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 };
    public static String[] hosts = { "localhost", "127.0.0.1" };
    public static Connection connection;
}

Generated JSON output:

{
  "port": 65537,
  "enabled": 1,
  "name": "example",
  "version": "1.0",
  "weight": 69.1,
  "sizes": [1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
  "hosts": ["localhost", "127.0.0.1"],
  "connection": {
    "name": "mysql",
    "address": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 6969
    }
  }
}

Limitations

• Does not support non-static fields.
• Does not handle complex object graphs efficiently.
• No validation or error handling – it's just a fun experiment!
