JSON to Java Class

Generate Java POJO classes from JSON, in your browser.

Processed in your browser

JSON to production-ready Java POJO

Compatible with Jackson and Gson

Generated classes work directly with the most popular Java JSON serialization libraries without additional configuration.

100% private

Your JSON is processed in the browser. Never sent to servers. Safe for confidential API data or business structures.

Clean, conventional code

Getters, setters, and constructors generated following JavaBeans conventions. Code ready for review and production.

Instant

Code generation happens in milliseconds. No waiting, no servers, no signup.

Three steps, no hassle

1

Paste your JSON

Paste any valid JSON object. The parser detects types, nested fields, and arrays automatically.

2

Generate the Java class

A POJO class is generated with private fields, getters, setters, and constructors. Nested objects become inner classes.

3

Copy and use in your project

Copy the generated code directly to your IDE. Compatible with Jackson, Gson, and Spring Boot without modifications.

Got questions?

POJO stands for Plain Old Java Object. It's an ordinary Java class with no special framework dependencies. POJOs are the standard way to represent data in Java: they have private fields with public getters and setters, and optionally an all-arguments constructor. Frameworks like Jackson and Gson use the getters and setters to automatically serialize and deserialize JSON.

Yes. For each field, a getter (getFieldName()) and a setter (setFieldName(value)) are generated following JavaBeans conventions. A no-argument constructor (required by many deserialization frameworks) and an all-arguments constructor are also generated for easy instantiation.

Nested JSON objects are converted to static inner classes inside the main class. For example, if your JSON has an 'address' field that is an object, an inner Address class will be generated with its own fields and methods. This keeps the code organized in a single file.

Field names follow camelCase (fieldName), which is the standard Java convention. Class names follow PascalCase (ClassName). If your JSON has keys with hyphens or underscores (field-name, field_name), they are automatically converted to camelCase in Java.

JSON arrays are converted to List<Type> using the List interface, which is the recommended Java practice (program to interfaces, not implementations). The java.util.List import is included automatically. If you prefer ArrayList, you can easily change the type in your IDE.

Java POJOs, JSON serialization, and API-first development with Spring Boot

Java is one of the most widely used languages for building enterprise REST APIs, especially with frameworks like Spring Boot. In API-first development, the API contract is defined as JSON, and developers must create Java classes that represent those data structures. Manually creating POJOs for APIs with dozens of fields is tedious and error-prone.

Java's type system requires explicitly declaring the type of each field (String, Integer, Boolean, List, etc.), unlike dynamic languages like Python or JavaScript. Jackson, the most popular JSON serialization library for Java, uses reflection to read the getters and setters of a POJO class and map them to JSON keys. Gson, Google's alternative, works similarly by accessing fields directly.

In Spring Boot projects, DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) are POJOs that represent the body of HTTP requests and responses. Automatically generating these DTOs from the API's JSON reduces development time and ensures consistency between the JSON contract and Java classes. Convertir.ai generates idiomatic Java code directly in the browser, without sending your data to any server.
