Cool tool of the day: jsonschema2pojo

So we all love JSON?

AND I love Java but creating the Java classes to serve or parse your JSON is a pain.

Especially when the JSON alters!

So use jsonschema2pojo!

It comes with a handy code generator Maven plugin.

The steps are as follows:

1. Create a Java project with a maven POM;
2. Add the code generator as seen in the documentation;
3. Capture your JSON;
4. Create the JSON schema in the folder specified in your POM using jsonschema.net;
5. run mvn generate-sources;

Done!
