Groovy Programming Examples

Missing methods

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      Student mst = new Student();
      mst.Name = "Joe";
      mst.ID = 1;
		
      println(mst.Name);
      println(mst.ID);
      mst.AddMarks();
   } 
}
 
class Student implements GroovyInterceptable {
   protected dynamicProps = [:]  
    
   void setProperty(String pName, val) {
      dynamicProps[pName] = val
   } 
   
   def getProperty(String pName) {
      dynamicProps[pName]
   }
   
   def invokeMethod(String name, Object args) {
      return "called invokeMethod $name $args"
   }
}

Groovy Meta Object Programming

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      Student mst = new Student();
      mst.Name = "Joe";
      mst.ID = 1;
		
      println(mst.Name);
      println(mst.ID);
   }
}

class Student implements GroovyInterceptable { 
   protected dynamicProps=[:]
	
   void setProperty(String pName,val) {
      dynamicProps[pName] = val
   }
   
   def getProperty(String pName) {
      dynamicProps[pName]
   } 
}

XMLTemplateEngine

groovy

def binding = [StudentName: 'Joe', id: 1, subject: 'Physics'] 
def engine = new groovy.text.XmlTemplateEngine() 

def text = '''\
   <document xmlns:gsp='https://groovy.codehaus.org/2005/gsp'>
      <Student>
         <name>${StudentName}</name>
         <ID>${id}</ID>
         <subject>${subject}</subject>
      </Student>
   </document> 
''' 

def template = engine.createTemplate(text).make(binding) 
println template.toString()

Writing a Simple Junit Test Case

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      Student mst = new Student();
      mst.name = "Joe";
      mst.ID = 1;
      println(mst.Display())
   } 
} 
 
public class Student {
   String name;
   int ID;
	
   String Display() {
      return name +ID;
   }  
}

jsonBuilder class

groovy

def builder = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder() 

class Student {
   String name  
} 

def studentlist = [new Student (name: "Joe"), new Student (name: "Mark"), 
   new Student (name: "John")] 
	
builder studentlist, { Student student ->name student.name} 
println(builder)

JsonBuilder

groovy

def builder = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder() 

def root = builder.students {
   student {
      studentname 'Joe'
      studentid '1'
		
      Marks(
         Subject1: 10,
         Subject2: 20,
         Subject3:30,
      )
   } 
} 
println(builder.toString());

JsonOutput

groovy

import groovy.json.JsonOutput  
class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      def output = JsonOutput.toJson([ new Student(name: 'John',ID:1),
         new Student(name: 'Mark',ID:2)])
      println(output);  
   } 
}
 
class Student {
   String name
   int ID; 
}

Parsing List of Primitive Data types

groovy

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper 
class Example {

   static void main(String[] args) {
      def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
      def obj = jsonSlurper.parseText ''' {"Integer": 12, "fraction": 12.55, "double": 12e13}'''
		
      println(obj.Integer);
      println(obj.fraction);
      println(obj.double); 
   } 
}

Parsing List of Integers

groovy

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper 
class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
      Object lst = jsonSlurper.parseText('{ "List": [2, 3, 4, 5] }')
      lst.each { println it }
   } 
}

Parsing Text

groovy

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper 

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
      def object = jsonSlurper.parseText('{ "name": "John", "ID" : "1"}') 
		
      println(object.name);
      println(object.ID);
   } 
}
