Looking for a JSON-to-POJO generator? Get the modern version of exactly that: compact Java
record definitions matching your document's real shape, generated in one click, entirely in
your browser.
Json Web Viewer's Types mode reads your document's actual structure — key names, nesting,
array element types, which fields are sometimes missing or null — and generates matching Java
records. A record says in three lines what a hand-written POJO says in forty (field, constructor, getters,
equals/hashCode/toString), and Jackson binds to records natively.
No server round-trip, no account, no upload.
The output is one compilable file: Java allows a single public top-level type per file, so the root record
is public and its nested records are package-private below it. A
@JsonProperty annotation is emitted only when a JSON key doesn't survive Java naming — a
document whose keys are already valid camelCase generates a file with no Jackson import at all.
Example — this JSON:
{
"id": "ord_9f21a",
"customer": {
"name": "Ada Lovelace",
"email": "ada@example.com",
"vip": true
},
"items": [
{ "sku": "book-001", "qty": 2, "price": 19.99 },
{ "sku": "mug-014", "qty": 1, "price": 12.5 }
],
"shippedAt": null
}
generates this Java:
import java.util.List;
public record Root(
Customer customer,
String id,
List<ItemsItem> items,
Object shippedAt // may be null
) {}
record Customer(
String email,
String name,
boolean vip
) {}
record ItemsItem(
double price,
long qty,
String sku
) {}

The link above pre-loads the order example into Types mode. TypeScript is the default
target — select Java from the language dropdown next to the mode buttons to regenerate
the same document as records.
No. Type generation runs entirely in your browser — your JSON never leaves the page.
A record is the language's own answer to "a carrier for parsed data" since Java 16, and Jackson binds to records natively since 2.12. A POJO generator would also have to pick a mutability and getter convention for you — neither of which your JSON can answer.
Through boxing, because that's what Java's type system can actually say: a number that's always present
and never null is a primitive (long, double,
boolean), while an optional or nullable one is boxed (Long,
Double, Boolean) so it can hold the null Jackson will put there.
Reference types are already nullable, so they carry a // may be absent or
// may be null comment instead of a fake type change. java.util.Optional is
deliberately not used — it's discouraged as a field type and doesn't serialize back without extra
modules.
Need a different target language? The same dropdown also generates TypeScript, Python, C#, and Kotlin — plus Go and Rust.
