How can I convert a String into a HashMap?
String value = "{first_name = naresh, last_name = kumar, gender = male}"
into
Map<Object, Object> = {
first_name = naresh,
last_name = kumar,
gender = male
}
Where the keys are first_name, last_name and gender and the values are naresh, kumar, male.
Note: Keys can be any thing like city = hyderabad.
I am looking for a generic approach.
This is one solution. If you want to make it more generic, you can us StringUtils library.
String value = "{first_name = naresh,last_name = kumar,gender = male}";
value = value.substring(1, value.length()-1); //remove curly brackets
String[] keyValuePairs = value.split(","); //split the string to creat key-value pairs
Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();
for(String pair : keyValuePairs) //iterate over the pairs
{
String[] entry = pair.split("="); //split the pairs to get key and value
map.put(entry[0].trim(), entry[1].trim()); //add them to the hashmap and trim whitespaces
}
For example you can switch
value = value.substring(1, value.length()-1);
to
value = StringUtils.substringBetween(value, "{", "}");
if you are using StringUtils which is contained in apache.commons.lang package.
