How to prevent ordering of json string during parsing using groovy jsonslurper?

Question

I have a josn string like below,

def input = '''{"name":"abul","age":30,"street":"Uttara"}'''

After parsing json string input like below,

def output = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(input)

I got following value of output

'''{"age":30,"name":"abul","street":"Uttara"}'''

But I expect no change in order i.e, expected result is

  {"name":"abul","age":30,"street":"Uttara"} 

How can I do using same lib i.e, groovy.json.JsonSlurper

Answer 1

You can't.

If you want ordering, you'll have to use a json array.

An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null, object, or array.

An array is an ordered sequence of zero or more values.
