Templated JSON parsing methods that work with an element or elements array. Can they be combined?












0












$begingroup$


Consider the following two Java methods. The first takes a json string representing one element, the second representing multiple elements. gson.fromJson() can be called with a Class parameter or a Class parameter. The trick is in unifying the method signatures so a caller of creatBean() can call seamlessly with a Class or Class parameter. Is there a way these can be combined?



public <T extends ValidateableBean>T createBean(String json, Class<T> clazz) {
Gson gson = new Gson();
T device = gson.fromJson(json, clazz);

InputValidation inputValidation = new InputValidation();
if (!inputValidation.validate((ValidateableBean) device, "Error during validation")) {
throw new WebApplicationException(Status.BAD_REQUEST);
}

return device;
}

public <T extends ValidateableBean>T createBeans(String json, Class<T> clazz) {
Gson gson = new Gson();
T devices = gson.fromJson(json, clazz);

InputValidation inputValidation = new InputValidation();
for (T device : devices) {
if (!inputValidation.validate((ValidateableBean) device, "Error during validation")) {
throw new WebApplicationException(Status.BAD_REQUEST);
}
}

return devices;
}
