How to create json object with key and value, where value is array

Question

I need to make json object with key, and value, where value is array of values. How could i do that ?

{"propName" : "favouriteObjectsIds", 
 "value": [
        "5c93f4cc3a6565000483248d",
        "5c93f7843a6565000483248e"
        ] 
}

I have tried like this

public void add(String propertyName, String[] values){
        JsonArray array1 = new JsonArray();
        for(int i = 0; i < values.length; i++){
            array.add(values[i]);
        }

        JsonObject json = new JsonObject();
        json.addProperty("propName", propertyName);
        json.addProperty("value" ,array.toString());
    }

but array.toString() gives me such output

{"propName":"favouriteObjectsIds",
"value":"[\"5c93f4cc3a6565000483248d\",\"5c9b82ad24b33b0004227322\"]"}

Answer 1

You should use .add instead of .addProperty for JsonElements

public void add(String propertyName, String[] values){

    JsonArray array = new JsonArray();
    for(int i = 0; i < values.length; i++){
        array.add(values[i]);
    }

    JsonObject json = new JsonObject();
    json.addProperty("propName", propertyName);
    json.add("value" ,array);
}
