You can write an object to a json string. So I hope you have your data in an object of a class defined as per your need. Here is how you can convert that object into a json string:

//1. Convert Java object to JSON format
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

String jsonString = mapper.writeValueAsString(yourObject);

See here for the full jackson-databind javadoc.
