Map<String, HashSet<String>> to JSON, & Pretty Print - json

Question

I'm trying to make my dataset correspond to this example:
var family = [{
"name" : "Jason",
"age" : "24",
"gender" : "male"
},
{
"name" : "Kyle",
"age" : "21",
"gender" : "male"
}];
I have a Map<String, HashSet<String>> of Names and unique alpha-numeric values correponding to specific entities to which those names could refer, let's call these entry items "IDs".
So for instance, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky would perhaps be related to the ID Q626, because that's a very specific reference, there aren't many widely known figures with that name. Whereas, Bush might be attached to G027, Q290, and Q118, referencing perhaps the man, the beer, and the shrub, in no particular order.
It looks like this (the real one is much bigger):
[Rao=[Q7293658, , Q7293657, Q12953055, Q3531237, Q4178159, Q1138810, Q579515, Q3365064, Q7293664, Q1133815], Hani Durzy=[], Louise=[, Q1660645, Q130413, Q3215140, Q152779, Q233203, Q7871343, Q232402, Q82547, Q286488, Q156723, Q3263649, Q456386, Q233192, Q14714149, Q12125864, Q57669, Q168667, Q141410, Q166028], Reyna=[Q7573462, Q2892895, Q363257, Q151944, Q3740321, Q2857439, Q1453358, Q7319529, Q733716, Q16151941, Q7159448, Q5484172, Q6074271, Q1753185, Q7319532, Q5171205, Q3183869, Q1818527, Q251862, Q3840414, Q5271282, Q5606181]]
Using Jackson I tried like this:
Map<String, HashSet<String>> map = q_valMap;
mapper.writeValue(new File("JSON_Output/user.json"), map);
But this seems wrong, as my output was all jumbled together, i.e.
{"Rao":["Q7293658","","Q7293657","Q12953055","Q3531237","Q4178159","Q1138810","Q579515","Q3365064","Q7293664","Q1133815"],"Hani Durzy":[""],"Louise":["","Q1660645","Q130413","Q3215140","Q152779","Q233203","Q7871343","Q232402","Q82547","Q286488","Q156723","Q3263649","Q456386","Q233192","Q14714149","Q12125864","Q57669","Q168667","Q141410","Q166028"],"Reyna":["Q7573462","Q2892895","Q363257","Q151944","Q3740321","Q2857439","Q1453358","Q7319529","Q733716","Q16151941","Q7159448","Q5484172","Q6074271","Q1753185","Q7319532","Q5171205","Q3183869","Q1818527","Q251862","Q3840414","Q5271282","Q5606181"]}
Do I just have to populate this JSON object iteratively?
Like the example up top, I think it should look something like this, though what follows is only a pseudocodish characterization, which is to say, not exactly this but something similar:
{
key: "Rao"
value: ["Q7293658","","Q7293657","Q12953055","Q3531237","Q4178159","Q1138810","Q579515","Q3365064","Q7293664","Q1133815"]
key: "Hani Durzy"
value: [""]
key: "Louise"
value: ["","Q1660645","Q130413","Q3215140","Q152779","Q233203","Q7871343","Q232402","Q82547","Q286488","Q156723","Q3263649","Q456386","Q233192","Q14714149","Q12125864","Q57669","Q168667","Q141410","Q166028"]
key: "Reyna"
value: ["Q7573462","Q2892895","Q363257","Q151944","Q3740321","Q2857439","Q1453358","Q7319529","Q733716","Q16151941","Q7159448","Q5484172","Q6074271","Q1753185","Q7319532","Q5171205","Q3183869","Q1818527","Q251862","Q3840414","Q5271282","Q5606181"]
}
is that not right?
UPDATE
public class JsonMapFileExample
{
public static void map(Map<String, HashSet<String>> q_valMap )
{
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
ArrayNode array = mapper.createArrayNode();
for ( Entry entry: q_valMap.entrySet() )
{
ObjectNode node = mapper.createObjectNode()
.put("name", entry.getKey())
.put("ids", entry.getValue());
array.add(node);
}
mapper.writeValue("/home/matthias/Workbench/SUTD/nytimes_corpus/wdtk-parent/wdtk-examples/JSON_Output/user.json", array);
}
}
class MyEntity
{
private String name;
Set<String> value; // use names that you want in the result JSON
//constructors
public MyEntity()
{
}
public MyEntity(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
//getters
public String getName()
{
return this.name;
}
public Set<String> getValue()
{
return this.value;
}
//setters
public void setName(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
public void setValue(Set<String> value)
{

}
}

Answer 1

You could manually set the key names, something like:
ArrayNode array = mapper.createArrayNode();
for (Entry entry: yourMap.entries()) {
ObjectNode node = mapper.createObjectNode()
.put("name", entry.key())
.putPOJO("ids", entry.value());
array.add(node);
}
mapper.writeValue(file, array);
Alternatively, you could create a class for your data
class MyEntity {
String name;
Set<String> ids; // use names that you want in the JSON result
// getters, setters if necessary
}
Transform your data map into a list of MyEntity, then use Jackson ObjectMapper to create JSON like mapper.writeValue(file, listOfMyEntities), the output would be like
[
{
"name": "some name here",
"ids": ["id1", "id2", ...]
}
// more elements here
]

Answer 2

how about this:
String name_list_file = "/home/matthias/Workbench/SUTD/nytimes_corpus/NYTimesCorpus/2005/01/02/test/people_test.txt";
String single_name;
try (
// read in the original file, list of names, w/e
InputStream stream_for_name_list_file = new FileInputStream( name_list_file );
InputStreamReader stream_reader = new InputStreamReader( stream_for_name_list_file , Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
BufferedReader line_reader = new BufferedReader( stream_reader );
)
{
while (( single_name = line_reader.readLine() ) != null)
{
//replace this by a URL encoder
//String associated_alias = single_name.replace(' ', '+');
String associated_alias = URLEncoder.encode( single_name , "UTF-8");
String platonic_key = single_name;
System.out.println("now processing: " + platonic_key);
Wikidata_Q_Reader.getQ( platonic_key, associated_alias );
}
}
//print the struc
Wikidata_Q_Reader.print_data();
}
