Java Options

The configuration options for Java are listed below.

Collection Type​

Choose whether the outer container is generated as:

  • List (ArrayList)
  • Array [ ]

Assign to Variable​

When enabled, output is assigned to a variable.

For example:

List<Map<String, Object>> data = new ArrayList<>(List.of(
    Map.of("name", "Monica")
));

Variable Name​

Set the name used when Assign to Variable is enabled.

For example, using records:

List<Map<String, Object>> records = new ArrayList<>(List.of(
    Map.of("name", "Monica")
));

Number Convert (Quote Numbers)​

When enabled, numeric-looking values are emitted as quoted strings.

When disabled, numeric-looking values are emitted as numeric literals.

Use Anonymous Maps (Map.of)​

When enabled, each row is output as a map.

When disabled, each row is output as an instance of a named Java class.

For larger row shapes (more than 10 columns), AnyWayData automatically uses Map.ofEntries(...).

Class Name​

Used when Use Anonymous Maps is disabled to set the class name for generated row instances.

Blank Values​

Choose how blank values are exported:

  • null
  • Empty String

Include Imports​

When enabled, import statements are included at the top of the output.

Depending on selected options, imports can include:

import java.util.Map;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;

Pretty Print​

Controls whether output is formatted across multiple lines with indentation.

When disabled, output is compact (minified style).

Delimiter​

Controls indentation when Pretty Print is enabled.

Java supports:

  • Tab [\t]
  • Space [ ]
  • Custom Value

Custom Delimiter​

Set a custom indentation value used for pretty print.

For Java output, indentation must be whitespace. Non-whitespace values automatically fall back to safe spaces.
