Revision History

4.83.0 - 2025-01-19

• FEATURE: WriteOptionsBuilder - Added meta key prefix override methods
  • useMetaPrefixAt() - Forces @ prefix for all meta keys (@type, @id, @ref, etc.) even in JSON5 mode
  • useMetaPrefixDollar() - Forces $ prefix for all meta keys ($type, $id, $ref, etc.) even in standard JSON mode
  • getMetaPrefixOverride() - Returns the override character (@, $, or null for default behavior)
  • Default behavior: Standard JSON uses @ prefix (quoted), JSON5 uses $ prefix (unquoted)
  • In JSON5, @ cannot be used unquoted since it's not a valid ECMAScript identifier start character
  • Reading accepts all meta key variants (@type, @t, $type, $t) regardless of format used to write

4.83.0 - 2025-01-18

• BUG FIX: JsonWriter.writeJsonObjectObject() - Fixed JSON5 unquoted keys not being applied
  • When serializing JsonObject instances directly, the json5UnquotedKeys option was ignored
  • Field names were always written with quotes regardless of JSON5 settings
  • Now uses consistent key writing logic with writeMapBody() - unquoted for valid ECMAScript identifiers
  • Also fixes potential escaping issues for field names containing special characters
• PERFORMANCE: JsonWriter - Comprehensive hot path optimization
  • Hoisted 12 WriteOptions values to final member variables initialized at construction time
  • Pre-fetched: skipNullFields, json5TrailingCommas, json5UnquotedKeys, maxStringLength, prettyPrint, neverShowingType, alwaysShowingType, writeLongsAsStrings, json5SmartQuotes, maxIndentationDepth, indentationThreshold, indentationSize
  • Eliminated ~37 method calls per serialization cycle across all write paths
  • Restructured writeMapBody() and writeElements() loops to write comma BEFORE entries (except first), eliminating double hasNext() check per iteration
  • Replaced all internal getWriteOptions() calls with direct field access
  • Optimized tab() method to use pre-fetched indentation settings
• PERFORMANCE: JsonParser - Zero-allocation string cache on cache hits
  • Replaced LinkedHashMap-based cache with array-based open addressing (2048 slots)
  • Computes hashCode directly from CharSequence without creating String
  • Uses contentEquals() to verify matches - only allocates String on cache miss
  • ~9% improvement in read performance
• PERFORMANCE: JsonObject.indexOf() - Reduced linear search overhead
  • Lowered INDEX_THRESHOLD from 16 to 4 for earlier HashMap index creation
  • Added proactive index building when crossing threshold during put()
  • Reduces O(n²) cost when building objects with many fields
• PERFORMANCE: WriteOptionsBuilder / ReadOptionsBuilder - Eliminated lambda allocations
  • Replaced computeIfAbsent(key, this::method) with manual get-then-put pattern
  • Method references create new lambda instances on every call, even on cache hits
  • Fixed in 5 locations: getAccessorsForClass, getCustomWriter, getDeepDeclaredFields, getDeepInjectorMap
• PERFORMANCE: JsonWriter - New IdentityIntMap for reference tracking
  • Replaced IdentityHashMap<Object, Long> with lightweight IdentityIntMap
  • Uses open addressing with primitive int values (no Entry objects, no boxing)
  • Single System.identityHashCode() call per operation
  • ~10% improvement in write performance
• PERFORMANCE: ObjectResolver.markUntypedObjects() - Optimized visited set
  • Now uses IdentitySet from java-util (high-performance Set using object identity)
  • Previously used workaround with IdentityIntMap, now uses proper add()/contains() semantics
  • 66% reduction in samples for this method, eliminated IdentityHashMap allocations
• BUG FIX: ReadOptionsBuilder.integerTypeBigInteger() - Fixed to actually set BigInteger-only mode
  • Method was incorrectly setting Integers.BOTH instead of Integers.BIG_INTEGER
  • Now correctly forces all integers to return as BigInteger regardless of size
• TESTING: Added comprehensive JsonParserErrorHandlingTest with 52 tests for parser edge cases
  • @items validation errors, invalid field name starts, token EOF/mismatch errors
