Parsing google json with java

I need to parse JSON:
{
"Store":"GooglePlay",
"TransactionID":"here_is_google_transaction_id",
"Payload":"{"json":"{"packageName":"com.myapp.mypackage","productId":"com.myapp.mypackage.myproductid","purchaseTime":1489056122448,"purchaseState":0,"purchaseToken":"here_is_my_purchase_token"}",
"signature":"here_is_signature_g=="}"}
I need to get "Payload" attributes like "packageName", "productId" and so on.
How can i do that with java?
I tried to use JsonParser:
private static final void readJson(String json) {
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonElement jsonElement = parser.parse(json);
JsonObject rootObject = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject(); //get whole json object
String store = rootObject.get("Store").getAsString(); //get store attribute value
JsonObject childObject = rootObject.getAsJsonObject("Payload"); //get payload json object from root object
String packageName = childObject.get("packageName").getAsString();
System.out.println(store + " " + packageName);
}
But it throws an error when i'm trying to get the "Payload" object content:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.gson.JsonPrimitive cannot be cast to com.google.gson.JsonObject
at com.google.gson.JsonObject.getAsJsonObject(JsonObject.java:191)

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.parser.ParseException;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;
class JsonDecodeDemo {
public static void main(String[] args){
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
String s = "[0,{\"1\":{\"2\":{\"3\":{\"4\":[5,{\"6\":7}]}}}}]";
try{
Object obj = parser.parse(s);
JSONArray array = (JSONArray)obj;
System.out.println("The 2nd element of array");
System.out.println(array.get(1));
System.out.println();
JSONObject obj2 = (JSONObject)array.get(1);
System.out.println("Field \"1\"");
System.out.println(obj2.get("1"));
s = "{}";
obj = parser.parse(s);
System.out.println(obj);
s = "[5,]";
obj = parser.parse(s);
System.out.println(obj);
s = "[5,,2]";
obj = parser.parse(s);
System.out.println(obj);
}catch(ParseException pe){
System.out.println("position: " + pe.getPosition());
System.out.println(pe);
}
}
}
A very simple representation of JSONParser.
And its output
The 2nd element of array
{"1":{"2":{"3":{"4":[5,{"6":7}]}}}}
Field "1"
{"2":{"3":{"4":[5,{"6":7}]}}}
{}
[5]
[5,2]

JSONObject with List to String to JsonNode

I convert JSONObject in string for parse it in JsonNode with jackson but i have a List in my JSONObject and when i parse it with a ObjectMapper i get this :
["{Property1 : value1, Property2 : value2}"]
And i can't call myJsonNodeObject.get(i).get("Property1") this is my problem.
I have tried to cast my List in JSONArray in my JSONObject but don't work.
resultAsJSONObject = new JSONObject();
resultAsJSONObject.put("Label", getMetricStatisticsResult.getLabel());
resultAsJSONObject.put("Datapoints", getMetricStatisticsResult.getDatapoints());
resultAsJSONObject.put("fromDate", fromDate.getTimeInMillis());
resultAsJSONObject.put("toDate", toDate.getTimeInMillis());
resultAsJSONObject.put("error", "");
resultAsString = resultAsJSONObject.toString();
mapper.readValue(resultAsString, MetricsData.class);

Assuming that you have a JSON string which you just want to change. Then you can use Jackson to parse it as a ObjecNode and then modify it. Here is an example:
public class JacksonModifyJson {
static final String JSON = "{\"name\":\"Bob\", \"age\":13}";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
final ObjectNode jsonNode = mapper.readValue(JSON, ObjectNode.class);
jsonNode.put("url", "example.com");
System.out.println(mapper.writeValueAsString(jsonNode));
}
}
Output:
{"name":"Bob","age":13,"url":"example.com"}

THis method is really easy and works too
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(THESTRINGHERE);
String[] names = JSONObject.getNames(jsonObject);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.toJSONArray(new JSONArray(names));
ArrayList<String> listdata = new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray jArray = (JSONArray)jsonArray;
if (jArray != null) {
for (int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){
listdata.add(jArray.get(i).toString());
}
}
// System.out.println(listdata);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Java Append object to JSON

I would like to append JSON object to existing JSON array to get data structure like this.
"results":[
{
"lat":"value",
"lon":"value"
},
{
"lat":"value",
"lon":"value"
}
]
I'm trying to do it using the code in example, but unfortunately whole object is overriden everytime.
Log.i(AppHelper.APP_LOG_NAMESPACE, "POSITIONS AVAILABLE " + jsonDataString);
AppHelper helper = new AppHelper(ctx);
JSONObject mainObject = new JSONObject(jsonDataString);
JSONObject valuesObject = new JSONObject();
JSONArray list = new JSONArray();
//putv given values to the JSON
valuesObject.put("lat", lat.toString());
valuesObject.put("lon", lon.toString());
valuesObject.put("city", city);
valuesObject.put("street", street);
valuesObject.put("date", helper.getActualDateTime());
valuesObject.put("time", helper.getActualDateTime());
list.put(valuesObject);
//mainObject.put("values", list);
mainObject.accumulate("values", list);
saveJsonData(ctx, mainObject.toString(),"positions");
How it should be right?
Put and accumulate everytime rewrite all previous values, but i would like to append this object:
{
"lat":"value",
"lon":"value"
},
Into results parent.
BTW: I would like to do it without GSON.
Thanks for any help..

There isnt any problem with your code. It does append
String jsonDataString = "{\"results\":[{\"lat\":\"value\",\"lon\":\"value\" }, { \"lat\":\"value\", \"lon\":\"value\"}]}";
JSONObject mainObject = new JSONObject(jsonDataString);
JSONObject valuesObject = new JSONObject();
JSONArray list = new JSONArray();
valuesObject.put("lat", "newValue");
valuesObject.put("lon", "newValue");
valuesObject.put("city", "newValue");
valuesObject.put("street", "newValue");
valuesObject.put("date", "newValue");
valuesObject.put("time", "newValue");
list.put(valuesObject);
mainObject.accumulate("values", list);
System.out.println(mainObject);
This prints {"values":[[{"date":"newValue","city":"newValue","street":"newValue","lon":"newValue","time":"newValue","lat":"newValue"}]],"results":[{"lon":"value","lat":"value"},{"lon":"value","lat":"value"}]}.
Isnt this what you are expecting?
With gson you can do like
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
public class AddJson {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String json = "{\"results\":[{\"lat\":\"value\",\"lon\":\"value\" }, { \"lat\":\"value\", \"lon\":\"value\"}]}";
Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonObject inputObj = gson.fromJson(json, JsonObject.class);
JsonObject newObject = new JsonObject() ;
newObject.addProperty("lat", "newValue");
newObject.addProperty("lon", "newValue");
inputObj.get("results").getAsJsonArray().add(newObject);
System.out.println(inputObj);
}
}

Simple Approach
String jsonData = "{\"results\":[{\"lat\":\"value\",\"lon\":\"value\" }]}";
System.out.println(jsonData);
try {
JSONArray result = new JSONObject(jsonData).getJSONArray("results");
result.getJSONObject(0).put("city","Singapore");
jsonData = "{\"results\":"+result.toString()+"}";
System.out.println(jsonData);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
OutPut Before Appending
{"results":[{"lat":"value","lon":"value" }]}
OutPut After Appending
{"results":[{"lon":"value","lat":"value","city":"Singapore"}]}

If you want to add new value to an Object you can try the below as well
Before:
{
"Name": "EnCoMa",
"Manager": "Abhishek Kasetty"
}
code :
JsonFactory factory = new JsonFactory();
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(factory);
ObjectWriter ow = new ObjectMapper().writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter();
String json = ow.writeValueAsString(TheObjectToWhichYouWantToAddNewValue);
ObjectNode node = (ObjectNode) mapper.readTree(json);
node.putPOJO("new Key","new value")
after:
{
"Name": "EnCoMa",
"Manager": "Abhishek Kasetty",
"new Key": "new value"
}

Creating a JSON object

I am making a JSON request to server using Java. Here is the following parameters.
{method:'SearchBySearchConfiguration',params:[{{SearchCriteria:'%arriva',
IsAccountSearch:true,IsContactSearch:false,SearchByName:true,SearchByAddress:false
CRMTextValues:[], CRMCurrencyValues:[]}]}
I could do this way.
JSONObject json=new JSONObject();
json.put("method", "SearchBySearchConfiguration");
How do I add the rest of params, in name-value pair to JSON object?
Thanks in advance!

One way I can think of is using the org.json library. I wrote a sample to build part of your request object:
public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.put("method", "SearchBySearchConfiguration");
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
JSONObject innerRecord = new JSONObject();
innerRecord.put("SearchCriteria", "%arriva");
innerRecord.put("IsAccountSearch", true);
jsonArray.put(innerRecord);
jsonObject.put("params",jsonArray);
System.out.println("jsonObject :"+jsonObject);
}
The output is :
jsonObject :{"method":"SearchBySearchConfiguration","params":[{"IsAccountSearch":true,"SearchCriteria":"%arriva"}]}
Another technique would be to build Java objects that resemble your request structure. You can then convert it into json using Jackson library's ObjectMapper class.
In both cases once you get the json string, you can directly write it into the request body.

JSONObject json=new JSONObject();
json.put("method", "SearchBySearchConfiguration");
JSONArray paramsArr = new JSONArray();
JSONObject arrobj = new JSONOject();
arrobj.put("SearchCriteria","%arriva");
arrobj.put("IsAccountSearch","true");
arrobj.put("IsContactSearch","false");
arrobj.put("SearchByName","true");
arrobj.put("SearchByAddress","false");
arrobj.put("CRMTextValues",new JSONArray());
arrobj.put("CRMCurrencyValues",new JSONArray());
paramsArr.put(arrobj);
json.put("params",paramsArr);

The you can create JSONArray and put that array in JSONObject

Its Better to use gson for this.
First you need to create classs with following members :
public class TestClass{
private String method;
private ParamClass params;
}
public class ParamClass{
private String SearchCriteria;
private boolean IsAccountSearch;
private boolean IsContactSearch;
private boolean SearchByName;
private boolean SearchByAddress;
private String[] CRMTextValues;
private String[] CRMCurrencyValues;
}
Usage :
Serializing :
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonString = gson.toJson(testClassObject);
Deserializing :
Gson gson = new Gson();
TestClass testClassObject = gson.fromJson(jsonString , TestClass.class);

See this below example, where a JSONArray is returned and then how i am converting it in JSONObject form...
public JSONArray go() throws IOException, JSONException {
JSONArray json = readJsonFromUrl("http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/AppData.aspx");
return json;
}
JSONArray jarr;
for(int i=0 ; i<jarr.length() ; i++){
JSONObject jobj = jarr.getJSONObject(i);
String mainText = new String();
String provText = new String();
String couText = new String();
try{
mainText = jobj.getString("Overview");
System.out.println(mainText);
}catch(Exception ex){}
try{
JSONObject jProv = jobj.getJSONObject("Provider");
provText = jProv.getString("Name");
System.out.println(provText);
}catch(Exception ex){}
try{
JSONObject jCou = jobj.getJSONObject("Counterparty");
couText = jCou.getString("Value");
System.out.println(couText);
}catch(Exception ex){}
Jackson is a very efficient to do JSON Parsing
See this link:
http://jackson.codehaus.org/
Gson is provided by google which is also a good way to handle JSON.

To add params, JSONArray is used.
Inside params, we use JSONObject to add data such as SearchByAddress, IsAccountSearch ..etc.
Reference http://www.mkyong.com/java/json-simple-example-read-and-write-json/
package com.test.json;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.JSONValue;
public class JsonSimpleExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("method", "SearchBySearchConfiguration");
JSONArray list = new JSONArray();
JSONObject innerObj = new JSONObject();
innerObj.put("SearchCriteria","%arriva" );
innerObj.put("IsAccountSearch",true);
innerObj.put("IsContactSearch",false);
innerObj.put("SearchByName",true);
innerObj.put("SearchByAddress",false);
innerObj.put("CRMTextValues",new JSONArray());
innerObj.put("CRMCurrencyValues",new JSONArray());
list.add(innerObj);
obj.put("params", list);
System.out.print(obj);
}
}

How to read json file into java with simple JSON library

I want to read this JSON file with java using json simple library.
My JSON file looks like this:
[
{
"name":"John",
"city":"Berlin",
"cars":[
"audi",
"bmw"
],
"job":"Teacher"
},
{
"name":"Mark",
"city":"Oslo",
"cars":[
"VW",
"Toyata"
],
"job":"Doctor"
}
]
This is the java code I wrote to read this file:
package javaapplication1;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;
import org.json.simple.parser.ParseException;
public class JavaApplication1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
try {
Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader("c:\\file.json"));
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) obj;
String name = (String) jsonObject.get("name");
System.out.println(name);
String city = (String) jsonObject.get("city");
System.out.println(city);
String job = (String) jsonObject.get("job");
System.out.println(job);
// loop array
JSONArray cars = (JSONArray) jsonObject.get("cars");
Iterator<String> iterator = cars.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(iterator.next());
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
But I get the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.json.simple.JSONArray cannot be cast to org.json.simple.JSONObject
at javaapplication1.JavaApplication1.main(JavaApplication1.java:24)
Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? The whole file is a array and there are objects and another array (cars) in the whole array of the file. But i dont know how I can parse the whole array into a java array. I hope somebody can help me with a code line which I am missing in my code.
Thanks

The whole file is an array and there are objects and other arrays (e.g. cars) in the whole array of the file.
As you say, the outermost layer of your JSON blob is an array. Therefore, your parser will return a JSONArray. You can then get JSONObjects from the array ...
JSONArray a = (JSONArray) parser.parse(new FileReader("c:\\exer4-courses.json"));
for (Object o : a)
{
JSONObject person = (JSONObject) o;
String name = (String) person.get("name");
System.out.println(name);
String city = (String) person.get("city");
System.out.println(city);
String job = (String) person.get("job");
System.out.println(job);
JSONArray cars = (JSONArray) person.get("cars");
for (Object c : cars)
{
System.out.println(c+"");
}
}
For reference, see "Example 1" on the json-simple decoding example page.

You can use jackson library and simply use these 3 lines to convert your json file to Java Object.
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
InputStream is = Test.class.getResourceAsStream("/test.json");
testObj = mapper.readValue(is, Test.class);

Add Jackson databind:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.9.0.pr2</version>
</dependency>
Create DTO class with related fields and read JSON file:
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
ExampleClass example = objectMapper.readValue(new File("example.json"), ExampleClass.class);

Reading from JsonFile
public static ArrayList<Employee> readFromJsonFile(String fileName){
ArrayList<Employee> result = new ArrayList<Employee>();
try{
String text = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(fileName)), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(text);
JSONArray arr = obj.getJSONArray("employees");
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length(); i++){
String name = arr.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
short salary = Short.parseShort(arr.getJSONObject(i).getString("salary"));
String position = arr.getJSONObject(i).getString("position");
byte years_in_company = Byte.parseByte(arr.getJSONObject(i).getString("years_in_company"));
if (position.compareToIgnoreCase("manager") == 0){
result.add(new Manager(name, salary, position, years_in_company));
}
else{
result.add(new OrdinaryEmployee(name, salary, position, years_in_company));
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println(ex.toString());
}
return result;
}

Use google-simple library.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
<artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
Please find the sample code below:
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
//Use JSONObject for simple JSON and JSONArray for array of JSON.
JSONObject data = (JSONObject) parser.parse(
new FileReader("/resources/config.json"));//path to the JSON file.
String json = data.toJSONString();
} catch (IOException | ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Use JSONObject for simple JSON like {"id":"1","name":"ankur"} and JSONArray for array of JSON like [{"id":"1","name":"ankur"},{"id":"2","name":"mahajan"}].

Might be of help for someone else facing the same issue.You can load the file as string and then can convert the string to jsonobject to access the values.
import java.util.Scanner;
import org.json.JSONObject;
String myJson = new Scanner(new File(filename)).useDelimiter("\\Z").next();
JSONObject myJsonobject = new JSONObject(myJson);

Gson can be used here:
public Object getObjectFromJsonFile(String jsonData, Class classObject) {
Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonObject object = (JsonObject) parser.parse(jsonData);
return gson.fromJson(object, classObject);
}

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;
import org.json.simple.parser.ParseException;
public class Delete_01 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,
IOException, ParseException {
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) parser.parse(new FileReader(
"delete_01.json"));
for (Object o : jsonArray) {
JSONObject person = (JSONObject) o;
String strName = (String) person.get("name");
System.out.println("Name::::" + strName);
String strCity = (String) person.get("city");
System.out.println("City::::" + strCity);
JSONArray arrays = (JSONArray) person.get("cars");
for (Object object : arrays) {
System.out.println("cars::::" + object);
}
String strJob = (String) person.get("job");
System.out.println("Job::::" + strJob);
System.out.println();
}
}
}

Following is the working solution to your problem statement as,
File file = new File("json-file.json");
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader(file));
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(obj.toString());
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
System.out.println(jsonObject.get("name"));
System.out.println(jsonObject.get("city"));
System.out.println(jsonObject.get("job"));
jsonObject.getJSONArray("cars").forEach(System.out::println);
}

Hope this example helps too
I have done java coding in a similar way for the below json array example as follows :
following is the json data format : stored as "EMPJSONDATA.json"

This issue occurs when you are importing the org. json library for JSONObject class. Instead you need to import org.json.simple library.

private static final JsonParser JSON_PARSER = new JsonParser();
private static final String FILE_PATH = "configuration/data.json";
private JsonObject readJsonDataFromFile() {
try {
File indexFile = new File(FILE_PATH);
String fileData = Files.toString(indexFile, Charsets.UTF_8);
return (JsonObject) JSON_PARSER.parse(fileData);
} catch (IOException | JsonParseException e) {
String error = String.format("Error while reading file %s", FILE_PATH);
log.error(error);
throw new RuntimeException(error, e);
}
}

public class JsonParser {
public static JSONObject parse(String file) {
InputStream is = JsonParser.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(file);
assert is != null;
return new JSONObject(new JSONTokener(is));
}
}
// Read Json
JSONObject deviceObj = new JSONObject(JsonParser.parse("Your Json filename").getJSONObject(deviceID).toString());
Perform logic to iterate

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import com.google.gson.JsonElement;
import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
import com.google.gson.JsonParser;
public class JsonParserTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String data = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("C:/json.txt")));
JsonElement jsonElement = JsonParser.parseString(data);
JsonObject json = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject();
System.out.println(json.get("userId"));
System.out.println(json.get("id"));
System.out.println(json.get("title"));
System.out.println(json.get("completed"));
}
}
Use the below repositay from GSON.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
<version>2.8.6</version>
</dependency>

Sample Json
{
"per_page": 3,
"total": 12,
"data": [{
"last_name": "Bluth",
"id": 1,
"avatar": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/uifaces/faces/twitter/calebogden/128.jpg",
"first_name": "George"
},
{

"first_name": "Emma"
}
],
"page": 1,
"total_pages": 4
}
First If statement will convert the single data from the body
Second if statement will differentiate the JsonArray object
public static String getvalueJpath(JSONObject responseJson, String Jpath ) {
Object obj = responseJson;
for(String s : Jpath.split("/"))
if (s.isEmpty())
if(!(s.contains("[") || s.contains("]")))
obj = ((JSONObject) obj).get(s);
else
if(s.contains("[") || s.contains("]"))
obj = ((JSONArray)((JSONObject)obj).get(s.split("\\[")[0])).get(Integer.parseInt(s.split("//[")[1].replaceAll("]", "")));
return obj.toString();
}
}

Solution using Jackson library. Sorted this problem by verifying the json on JSONLint.com and then using Jackson. Below is the code for the same.
Main Class:-
String jsonStr = "[{\r\n" + " \"name\": \"John\",\r\n" + " \"city\": \"Berlin\",\r\n"
+ " \"cars\": [\r\n" + " \"FIAT\",\r\n" + " \"Toyata\"\r\n"
+ " ],\r\n" + " \"job\": \"Teacher\"\r\n" + " },\r\n" + " {\r\n"
+ " \"name\": \"Mark\",\r\n" + " \"city\": \"Oslo\",\r\n" + " \"cars\": [\r\n"
+ " \"VW\",\r\n" + " \"Toyata\"\r\n" + " ],\r\n"
+ " \"job\": \"Doctor\"\r\n" + " }\r\n" + "]";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
MyPojo jsonObj[] = mapper.readValue(jsonStr, MyPojo[].class);

RESULT:-
Val of getName is: John
Val of getCity is: Berlin
Val of getJob is: Teacher
Val of getCars is: [FIAT, Toyata]
Val of getName is: Mark
Val of getCity is: Oslo
Val of getJob is: Doctor
Val of getCars is: [VW, Toyata]

your json file look like this
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.json.simple.*;
import org.json.simple.parser.*;
public class JSONReadFromTheFileTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
try {
Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader("/Users/User/Desktop/course.json"));
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject)obj;
String name = (String)jsonObject.get("Name");
String course = (String)jsonObject.get("Course");
JSONArray subjects = (JSONArray)jsonObject.get("Subjects");
System.out.println("Name: " + name);
System.out.println("Course: " + course);
System.out.println("Subjects:");
Iterator iterator = subjects.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(iterator.next());
}
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
the output is
Name: Raja
Course: MCA
Subjects:
subject1: MIS
subject2: DBMS
subject3: UML

You can use readAllBytes.
return String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(filePath)),StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
