Explicitly state type for nullable field with a JSONObject

I am working with the Json Simple library, but I need a variable to explicitly say what type of variable this is. For example,

"date": {"int": 18002},

Otherwise it will not be able to be posted to the kafka server. Right now I am using this code:

jsonFileObject.put("date", Integer.parseInt(expectedDate));

which always just comes out as

"date":18002

Is there anyway to ensure it comes out the first way?

Instead of putting an `int`, explicitly put a `JSONObject` with the structure you require. – Sotirios Delimanolis Apr 25 '19 at 19:06
How would i mark that JSONObject as an int structure? – MrDaveForDays Apr 25 '19 at 19:33

Just add a field called int to it with the value you want. – Sotirios Delimanolis Apr 25 '19 at 19:45
Awesome, that worked, thank you so much! – MrDaveForDays Apr 25 '19 at 19:59
