import org.json.JSONArray
import org.json.JSONObject

fun json(block: JSONObjectBuilder.() -> Unit) = JSONObjectBuilder().apply(block).json

class JSONObjectBuilder {
    val json = JSONObject()

    infix fun <http://String.to|String.to>(value: Any?) {
        json.put(this, value ?: JSONObject.NULL)
    }
}

fun jsonArray(vararg values: Any?): JSONArray {
    val jsonArray = JSONArray()
    for (value in values)
        jsonArray.put(value ?: JSONObject.NULL)
    return jsonArray
}

The entire library in a single paste

Yes, that's the beauty of writing DSLs in Kotlin.
Wanted to make a separate library so that we don't have deal with copy-paste in new file. Just a simple gradle dependency would work.

My main concern is that you're overloading to. If someone mistakenly uses a non-string key, it will silently be ignored. Separately, if someone uses a non-JSON value, it's caught at runtime instead of compile-time, even though you could instead limit value to only a few types (Number?, String?, Boolean?, JSONArray?, or JSONObject?, plus maybe Character, I guess).

[Hitanshu Dhawan]

Yes, fair points Derek. Thanks a lot for having a look at my library and providing your valuable inputs.
Will surely fix these issues in the coming next release.
Thanks again.
