json4s: Convert type to JValue

Vote count:

0

I have some source object src and would like to get a JValue from it. All the examples and documentation for json4s seem to revolve around getting a JSON-encoded string, like so:

private def encodeJson(src: AnyRef): String = {
    import org.json4s.NoTypeHints
    import org.json4s.JsonDSL.WithDouble._
    import org.json4s.jackson.JsonMethods._
    import org.json4s.jackson.Serialization
    import org.json4s.jackson.Serialization.write
    implicit val formats = Serialization.formats(NoTypeHints)

    write(src)
}

It seems like ToJsonWritable[T] is what I want to use, but I can't seem to find an implementation for Writer[AnyRef] (nor can I find scaladocs for json4s which would just tell me the implementations).
