Grails - grails.converters.JSON - removing the class name

Question

Is there a way to remove the class field in a JSON converter?

Example:

import testproject.*
import grails.converters.*  
emp = new Employee()  
emp         


        

Answer 1

My preferred way of doing this:

def getAllBooks() {
    def result = Book.getAllBooks().collect {
        [
            title: it.title,
            author: it.author.firstname + " " + it.author.lastname,
            pages: it.pageCount,
        ]
    }
    render(contentType: 'text/json', text: result as JSON)
}

This will return all the objects from Book.getAllBoks() but the collect method will change ALL into the format you specify.
