Cannot convert JSON Object to PDF #5

Hi yogthos,

I'm trying to convert a json object into PDF. But It is giving me Unknown source exception.

Find the code below. JSONParser parser=new JSONParser(); Object object=parser.parse(new FileReader("TextFile.txt")); JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject)object; String jsonString = jsonObject.toJSONString(); JsonPDF.writeToFile(jsonString, dir + "MyFile.pdf");

JSON Object : TextFile.txt {"balance":1000.1,"num":1000,"is_imp":true,"name":"Object"}

This is the error I'm getting

ERROR c.e.p.s.r.e.GeneralExceptionMapper - An unmapped exception was intercepted java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: nth not supported on this type: PersistentArrayMap at clojure.lang.RT.nthFrom(RT.java:857) ~[clojure-1.6.0.jar:na] at clojure.lang.RT.nth(RT.java:807) ~[clojure-1.6.0.jar:na] at clj_pdf.core$write_doc.invoke(core.clj:822) ~[json-to-pdf-0.6.9.jar:na] at clj_pdf.core$pdf.invoke(core.clj:875) ~[json-to-pdf-0.6.9.jar:na] at json_to_pdf.core$_writeToFile.invoke(core.clj:12) ~[json-to-pdf-0.6.9.jar:na] at org.yogthos.JsonPDF.writeToFile(Unknown Source) ~[json-to-pdf-0.6.9.jar:na]

Thanks Aditya

The parser expects JSON to be in a specific format that's described in the readme. It doesn't accept arbitrary JSON maps as input.

Normal json format java gives me will be similar to this {"balance":1000.1,"num":1000,"is_imp":true,"name":"Object"}.

So you mean I cannot convert a normal json object to pdf using this?

You cannot convert arbitrary JSON objects using this library. The JSON input has to be in the format specified in the documentation.
