Cause analysis,

StackOverflowError is the meaning of stack overflow
. When I encountered this problem myself, almost all the reasons I found were caused by recursion or endless loop. My own project was caused by writing the toString method in the entity class. A concrete analysis

    // One of the entity classes
    public class Hobby implements java.io.Serializable {
        // Fields
        private Integer hobbyId;
        private String hobbyName;
        private Set<Nurse> nurses = new HashSet<Nurse>();
    }
    // Another one of the entity classes
    public class Nurse implements java.io.Serializable {
        // Fields
        private Integer id;
        private Dept dept;
        private String name;
        private Integer age;
        private String content;
        private String datea;
        private Set<Hobby> hobbies = new HashSet<Hobby>();
    }

It can be seen that each entity class has a set set of the other. If tostring method is used to output Hobby of one of the entity classes, its corresponding set
collection will also output, so will another entity class in it, and then there is also Hobby set collection in Nurse. So you’re stuck in an infinite loop of infinite output

One of the solutions

Delete the toString method in the entity class, and an error will be reported.

 @Override
    public String toString() {
            return "omit";
    }

Solution number two

Set the set collection to null
, Nurse Nurse = new Nurse(); set the set collection to null
, Nurse Nurse = new Nurse();
nurse.setNurses(null);

Solution 3 (also the most commonly used)

Use JsonConfigUtil to remove the dead-loop tool class

     JsonConfig config = JsonConfigUtil.getConfig();
     JSONArray.fromObject(list, config);

Put the object or collection you want to convert to json into the first parameter,
set the object created by the utility class to the second parameter
to complete the automatic disconnection. Get rid of dead cycles
