Json serialization include one child property

[Denilson Telaroli]

I wanna include only the primary key from all classes.
The include method in json representation not accept include a child property directly.

e.g

result.use(json()).include("myObj.id").serialize();

if I include the root property, all properties will be serializeds, unnecessarily

I think that should be cool have this feature, generating more light jsons without excluding individuals properties.

What do you think? Is it viable?

Did you try?

result.use(json()).from(myObject).excludeAll().include("myObj.id").serialize();

[Denilson Telaroli]

I want to include all from root and id from parents

class MyObj {
   Long id;
   String name;
   MyOther myOther;
   ...
}

class MyOther{
   Long id;
   String description;
}

Preserves excludeAll the root properties?
There is excludeAll documentation?

[Otávio Garcia]

I'm sorry, this method is not released yet. And the docs needs improvements to explain better how to use. I'll do this soon.

In your case, what's the expected json?

[Denilson Telaroli]

{"myObj": {"id":1, "name": "value for name", "myOther":{"id":1}}

I'll do tests to see if excludeAll() helps you.
