How to simply return JSON from a JSP

Question

Can anyone give me an example of how to return the following json simply from a jsp without any external libraries (except the ones that come standard with Oracle Java)?

Answer 1

This is the code:

    
        
        
        
        
    
    
        
Hello World!
        Enter some text here
        
        
    

and this is the JSON:

[
   {"label":"item 1", "value":"item 1", "id": 1},
   {"label":"item 2", "value":"item 2", "id": 2},
   {"label":"item 3", "value":"item 1", "id": 3}
]

<%
   // Returns all employees (active and terminated) as json.
   response.setContentType("application/json");
%>
