bookJSON Serialization

JSON, which stands for JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight data-interchange format used by most web APIs. In Flutter, you often work with remote data in JSON format. Understanding how to parse (deserialize) JSON into Dart objects and serialize Dart objects back to JSON is crucial for communicating with APIs, handling responses, and sending data.

import 'dart:convert'; class User { final int id; final String name; User({required this.id, required this.name}); // Factory constructor to create a User from a JSON map factory User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) { return User( id: json['id'], name: json['name'], ); } } void main() { // Example JSON data from an API String jsonString = '{"id": 1, "name": "Alice"}'; // Decode JSON string to Map Map<String, dynamic> userMap = jsonDecode(jsonString); // Create User object from JSON map User user = User.fromJson(userMap); print('User id: ${user.id}, name: ${user.name}'); }

You can handle JSON serialization in Flutter either manually or automatically. The previous example uses a factory constructor to map JSON fields to Dart object fields by hand this is manual serialization. Manual serialization gives you full control and is simple for small models, but it can be repetitive and error-prone for larger or more complex data structures. Automated serialization uses code generation tools to reduce boilerplate and mistakes, but it requires setup and sometimes sacrifices flexibility. The factory constructor pattern is a common manual approach for straightforward models.
