Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for Java development environments. The method commences upon receiving a set of one or more rules to be applied to one or more JSON messages, then generating of one or more Java classes respective to received JSON messages. The received JSON messages can be retrieved from a repository for JSON message files, or the JSON messages can be received by sniffing a message transmitted over a network link. The rules can be applied according to one or more precedence regimes, and applying the precedence regimes over the two or more rules can be considered in a pre-processing step performed before receiving a JSON message or can be considered after receiving a JSON message.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method using a processor executing a process to perform one or more steps, the steps comprising:

receiving a set of one or more rules to be applied to one or more JSON messages;

receiving the one or more JSON messages; and

generating one or more Java classes respective to the one or more JSON messages using at least some of the set of one or more rules.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the one or more JSON messages comprises a search through a repository for JSON message files.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the one or more JSON messages comprises sniffing a message transmitted over a network link.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein receiving the one or more JSON messages further comprises extracting JSON messages from a protocol exchange.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising initiating the protocol exchange.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a set of one or more preferences pertaining to a configuration of the set of one or more rules to be applied to one or more JSON messages.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying a precedence over two or more of the one or more rules.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein applying the precedence over the two or more of the one or more rules is performed before receiving the one or more JSON messages.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein applying the precedence over the two or more of the one or more rules is performed after receiving the one or more JSON messages.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the two or more of the one or more rules are applied over a first key-value pair before applying the two or more rules over a second key-value pair.

11. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving a set of one or more rules to be applied to one or more JSON messages;

receiving the one or more JSON messages; and

generating one or more Java classes respective to the one or more JSON messages using at least some of the set of one or more rules.

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein receiving the one or more JSON messages comprises a search through a repository for JSON message files.

13. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein receiving the one or more JSON messages comprises sniffing a message transmitted over a network link.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein receiving the one or more JSON messages further comprises extracting JSON messages from a protocol exchange.

15. The computer program product of claim 14, further comprising initiating the protocol exchange.

16. The computer program product of claim 11, further comprising instructions for receiving a set of one or more preferences pertaining to a configuration of the set of one or more rules to be applied to one or more JSON messages.

17. The computer program product of claim 11, further comprising instructions for applying a precedence over two or more of the one or more rules.

18. The computer program product of claim 17, wherein applying the precedence over the two or more of the one or more rules is performed before receiving the one or more JSON messages.

19. A computer system comprising:

a class generator engine to receive a set of one or more rules to be applied a set of one or more JSON messages; and

a storage device to store one or more generated Java classes respective to the one or more JSON messages using at least some of the set of one or more rules.

20. The computer system of claim 19, wherein the one or more JSON messages is retrieved from a repository comprising JSON message files.
