All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class JsonObject
extends JsonValue
implements Serializable
```
Represents a JSON object that can be stored and loaded from Couchbase Server. If boxed return values are unboxed, the calling code needs to make sure to handle potential NullPointerExceptions. The JsonObject is backed by a Map and is intended to work similar to it API wise, but to only allow to store such objects which can be represented by JSON.

- Method Detail
  - empty
```
public static JsonObject empty()
```
    Creates a empty JsonObject.
    
    Returns:
    
    a empty JsonObject.
  - create
```
public static JsonObject create()
```
    Creates a empty JsonObject.
    
    Returns:
    
    a empty JsonObject.
  - from
```
public static JsonObject from(Map<String,?> mapData)
```
    Constructs a JsonObject from a Map<String, ?>. This is only possible if the given Map is well formed, that is it contains non null keys, and all values are of a supported type. A null input Map or null key will lead to a NullPointerException being thrown. If any unsupported value is present in the Map, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. *Sub Maps and Lists* If possible, Maps and Lists contained in mapData will be converted to JsonObject and JsonArray respectively. However, same restrictions apply. Any non-convertible collection will raise a ClassCastException. If the sub-conversion raises an exception (like an IllegalArgumentException) then it is put as cause for the ClassCastException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapData - the Map to convert to a JsonObject
    
    Returns:
    
    the resulting JsonObject
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - in case one or more unsupported values are present
    
    NullPointerException - in case a null map is provided or if it contains a null key
    
    ClassCastException - if map contains a sub-Map or sub-List not supported (see above)
  - fromJson
```
public static JsonObject fromJson(String s)
```
    Static method to create a JsonObject from a JSON String. The string is expected to be a valid JSON object representation (eg. starting with a '{').
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the JSON String to convert to a JsonObject.
    
    Returns:
    
    the corresponding JsonObject.

    IllegalArgumentException - if the conversion cannot be done.
