I have hit a minor roadblock in my mod. I'm usually pretty good with using Gson but I'm having problems. I would like to know how to have names and values as a value for a name. This probably sounds REALLY confusing so I'll explain.

 

I want to something similar to minecrafts mcmeta files. In some, there is an animation:

{
    "animation":{}
}

 

And some blocks/items have values inside that animation:

{
  "animation": {
    "frames": [
      16,
      17,
      18,
      19,
      20,
      21,
      22,
      23,
      24,
      25,
      26,
      27,
      28,
      29,
      30,
      31,
      0,
      1,
      2,
      3,
      4,
      5,
      6,
      7,
      8,
      9,
      10,
      11,
      12,
      13,
      14,
      15
    ]
  }
}

 

That is what I want to do. If you aren't really confused by this, how would I do that? If you are confused, tell me, I might be able to explain this better.

Ok, I think that answers my question. So if I'm understanding this correctly, I would do something like this?

JsonWriter json = new JsonWriter(new FileWriter(file));
json.beginObject();

json.name("example");
json.beginObject();

json.name("exampleString").value("value");

json.endObject();

json.endObject();

json.close();

Ok thanks.
