Grails JSON array

Question

I\'m converting a list of Foo objects to a JSON string. I need to parse the JSON string back into a list of Foos. However in the following example, parsing gives me a list of JS

Answer 1

If you are doing this in a Grails controller, and Foo IS indeed a domain object, don't forget that armed with your JSON map, you can also do:

List list = [new Foo("first"), new Foo("second")]
def jsonString = (list as JSON).toString()

List parsedList = JSON.parse(jsonString) as List
Foo foo = new Foo()
bindData(foo, parsedList[0]);
