possible issue

[dagavriliu]

In JsonWriter @ private void writeArray(Object array, boolean showType)
line 888:

boolean typeWritten = showType && !(Object[].class == arrayType);

For a reason I cannot explain due to my little knowledge of Java, the type verification for array appears invalid in Netbeans 7.4, Java 1.7, Win7
the particular error message is "lambda expression not expected here illegal start of expression ..."

I tried using

boolean typeWritten = showType && !(array instanceof Object[]);

This seems to remove that error message, but since my knowledge of Java is limited, I was hoping you could check if this is correct, and if so, perhaps change the particular line of code.
Thanks for reading this,
Have a nice day!

P.S. If this is not applicable, please remove the issue, and if possible let me know.

See if it will allow the following equivalent statement:

    boolean typeWritten = showType && !(arrayType.equals(Object[].class));

If so, let me know, and I will incorporate this into the next update.

I forgot to mention, the example you sent, fails in 2 test cases. You can try this if you have the TestJsonReaderWriter.java file and run the tests there. The code is working fine for me in both Eclipse and Intellij. This sounds like a bug in NetBeans. It also works fine in both Java 1.6 / 1.7.

After using your suggested variant, everything worked as expected - no
silly Netbeans error.

Thank you for your time.

I just committed the variant to the head of json-io. In the next release (2.5.3 or 2.6.0), it will be released. In the meantime, just use the line I sent you.
