Exception when deserializing from JSON

When deserializing from JSON, we get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected integer; got java.lang.Long

Even a simple program throws this exception:

package classgraphjsonbug;

import io.github.classgraph.ClassGraph;
import io.github.classgraph.ScanResult;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String json = scan();
        ScanResult scanResult = ScanResult.fromJSON(json);
    }

    private static String scan() {
        try (ScanResult scan = new ClassGraph()
                .verbose()
                .enableAllInfo()
                .scan()) {
            return scan.toJSON();
        }
    }
}

We’ve tested this code with the latest version 4.8.80 on the classpath. We have also attached the verbose output:

classgraph-json-bug.txt

Can you tell us what we’re doing wrong?

Thanks! Fixed in 4.8.81.

I think you are the first users who tried to use the serialization / deserialization support 😃

You’re also welcome to optimize the serializer and deserializer. I anticipate a 2-10x speedup could be achieved. The code is a bit complex though.
