JsonObject in Java not able to be cloned

Java SDK
1

Is there a reason you cannot clone a Couchbase JsonObject in the Java SDK? If not, would that be able to be added in a future release?

Hi Michael,

In general we favor using copy constructors over cloning.

I’ll admit it’s a bit cumbersome to type, but does this satisfy your requirements?

JsonObject copy = JsonObject.from(original.toMap());

Thanks,
David

Our codebase uses the toString method with JsonObject.fromJson . Is there an advantage to doing it with the map instead?

Both give the same result. Using toMap() performs better, since it doesn’t have to serialize and parse the JSON string.
