The JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and it can be used to transfer and storage of data.
The JSONObject can parse text from a String to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant object serialization. The JSONArray can parse text from a String to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant array serialization.
In the below two examples, We can convert a JSON string to a JSON object.
Example 1
import org.json.JSONObject; import org.json.JSONArray; public class StringToJSONTest { public static void main(String args[]) { String str = "[{\"No\":\"1\",\"Name\":\"Adithya\"},{\"No\":\"2\",\"Name\":\"Jai\"}, {\"No\":\"3\",\"Name\":\"Raja\"}]"; JSONArray array = new JSONArray(str); for(int i=0; i < array.length(); i++) { JSONObject object = array.getJSONObject(i); System.out.println(object.getString("No")); System.out.println(object.getString("Name")); } } }
Output
1 Adithya 2 Jai 3 Raja
Example 2
import org.json.*; public class StringToJsonObjectTest { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "{\"name\": \"Raja\", \"technology\": \"Java\"}"; JSONObject json = new JSONObject(str); System.out.println(json.toString()); String tech = json.getString("technology"); System.out.println(tech); } }
Output
{"name":"Raja","technology":"Java"} Java
