Improvement for JSONObject class

[kpopovic]

Hello,
please add new methods to JSONObject class. I think the can be very useful.

byte[] getBinary(String key) / byte[] getBinary(String key, byte[] def)

JSON itself has no notion of a binary, this extension complies to the RFC-7493, so this method assumes there is a String value with the key and it contains a Base64 encoded binary, which it decodes if found and returns.

public JsonObject put(String key, byte[] value)

Put a byte[] into the JSON object with the specified key.
JSON extension RFC7493, binary will first be Base64 encoded before being put as a String.

public java.time.Instant getInstant(String key)

Get the instant value with the specified key.
JSON itself has no notion of a date, this extension complies to the RFC-7493, so this method assumes there is a String value with the key and it contains a ISODATE encoded date, which it decodes if found and returns.

example:
public Instant getInstant(String key) {
Objects.requireNonNull(key);
String encoded = (String) map.get(key);
return encoded == null ? null : Instant.from(ISO_INSTANT.parse(encoded));
}

java.time.Instant getInstant(String key, java.time.Instant def)

Like getInstant(String) but specifying a default value to return if there is no entry.

example:
public Instant getInstant(String key, Instant def) {
Objects.requireNonNull(key);
Object val = map.get(key);
return val != null || map.containsKey(key) ?
(val == null ? null : Instant.from(ISO_INSTANT.parse((String) val))) : def;
}

public JsonObject put(String key, java.time.Instant value)

Put a Instant into the JSON object with the specified key.
JSON extension RFC7493, instant will first be encoded to ISODATE String.

example:
import static java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT;
.....
public JsonObject put(String key, Instant value) {
Objects.requireNonNull(key);
map.put(key, value == null ? null : ISO_INSTANT.format(value));
return this;
}

public JsonObject copy()
........................................
Copy the JSON object

We don't currently support java8, so I don't see the Instant items being
implemented.

Java 8 was released on 18 March 2014, more then 2 years ago...
Do you plan to support Java 8 at all ?

[johnjaylward]

We are currently supporting java6 and up, but that means no java8 specific
features

Ok, I understand.

Not adding support for date or time transforms at this time. No objection if someone sees a need for Base64 and wants to try implementing it in a way that does not impact existing applications.
