I think the JSON string I had was working fine. I stumbled across on my unit tests and found out that my JSON parsing using google Gson library doesn't work anymore. Does anybody have any ideas why this is not working?
String json = "{\"hybrid\":\"true\",\"trimName\":\"act\"}";
JsonObject data = new Gson().fromJson(json, JsonObject.class);
System.out.println(" JSON is "+data);
System.out.println(" JSON is "+data.get("hybrid"));
The output I get is
JSON is {}
is hybrid ? null
Solution 1
Solution in JsonObject as well using JsonParser to convert JSON string directly into JsonObject without using Gson.
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonObject jsonObject = (JsonObject) parser.parse(json);
System.out.println(" JSON is " + jsonObject);
System.out.println(" JSON is " + jsonObject.get("hybrid"));
output:
JSON is {"hybrid":"true","trimName":"act"}
JSON is "true"
Solution 2
You can convert JSON string into Map<String, String> using TypeToken and Type
String json = "{\"hybrid\":\"true\",\"trimName\":\"act\"}";
Type type = new TypeToken<Map<String, String>>() {}.getType();
Map<String, String> data = new Gson().fromJson(json, type);
System.out.println(" JSON is " + data);
System.out.println(" JSON is " + data.get("hybrid"));
output:
JSON is {hybrid=true, trimName=act}
JSON is true

I use javax to create JsonObject and JsonArray from my List<String> and I have a list of Json objects that i want to put in a JsonObject through a JsonArray
JsonArrayBuilder jsonArray = Json.createArrayBuilder();
for (String Obj : listOfJsonDfObjects)
jsonArray.add(summaryObj); //{"a":"b"},{"c":"d"}
// this line introduces extra escaping quotes like this {"\"a\"":"\"b\""},{"\"c\"":"\"d\""}
javax.json.JsonObject data = Json.createObjectBuilder()
.add("data", jsonArray.build()).build();
How to avoid these extra quotes escaping characters?
Thanks
You say you have a list of JSON objects, but you really have a list of JSON-formatted strings. To add them to a JsonArray, you need to parse each one into the JSON object model:
public class JsonTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> listOfJsonDfObjects = List.of(
"{\"a\":\"b\"}",
"{\"c\":\"d\"}"
);
JsonArrayBuilder jsonArray = Json.createArrayBuilder();
for (String summaryObj : listOfJsonDfObjects) {
JsonReader parser = Json.createReader(new StringReader(summaryObj));
jsonArray.add(parser.readObject());
}
JsonObject data = Json.createObjectBuilder()
.add("data", jsonArray.build()).build();
System.out.println(data); // {"data":[{"a":"b"},{"c":"d"}]}
}
}
Using Gson
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(listOfJsonDfObjects);
//check json
System.out.println(json);
json = json.replaceAll("\\\\", "");
json = json.replaceAll("\"\\{", "{");
json = json.replaceAll("\\}\"", "}");
//valid json now
System.out.println(json);
A more secure way (to avoid altering original data)
//concatenate objects in list with comma
String json = String.join(",", listOfJsonDfObjects);
//convert to pseudo array
json = "[" + json + "]";
//convert pseudo json array to pseudo json object
json = "{\"data\":" + json + "}";
//cast to json object
JsonObject jsonObject = new Gson().fromJson(json, JsonObject.class);
System.out.println(jsonObject);
I am using Java.
I have a string that I have converted to a JSON Object.
I want to extract the value of one of the Keys.
At the moment I am using this code:
String imageId = myJsonObject.getJSONObject("meta")
.getJSONObject("verification")
.getJSONObject("derivedData")
.getJSONArray("images")
.getJSONObject(0)
.getString("imageID");
This code works but surely there must be an easier way. In javascript I could access the value simply by writing this:
myJsonObject.meta.verification.derivedData.images[0].imageId
You may need to install library such as JsonPath to help you select values from a JSON object
An example to help understand better.
You can use external library Gson
Gson gson=new Gson();
/*You can convert to your DTO as well */
Map<Object,Object> map = gson.from(myJsonObject,Map.class);
Other way is using objectmapper example of fasterxml.
ObjectMapper objectMapper=new ObjectMapper();
/*You can convert to your DTO as well */
objectMapper.readValue(data, Map.class);
Try JsonNode by below step
String imageId= jsonNode.
findPath("meta")
.findPath("verification")
.findPath("derivedData")
.findPath("images")
.get (0).findPath ("imageID").asText ();
You need to use the 'Java API for JSON Binding' JSON-B instead of JSON-P. Using JSON-B you can serialize and deserialize between Java objects and data streams and access values of objects POJO style (similar to what you expect).
API details can be found here
A quick start tutorial can be found here and at many website only google search away..
I have created a small class for this purpose which can basically get value from json using a path only used google.gson
https://github.com/izeryab/JsonParser
Here is how to use this for getting nested value from json:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String json = "{\"data\":[{\"stuff\":[\n" + " { \"onetype\":[\n"
+ " {\"id\":1,\"name\":\"John Doe\"},\n" + " {\"id\":2,\"name\":\"Don Joeh\"}\n"
+ " ]},\n" + " {\"othertype\":[\n" + " {\"id\":2,\"company\":\"ACME\"}\n" + " ]}]\n"
+ "},{\"otherstuff\":[\n" + " {\"thing\":\n" + " [[1,42],[2,2]]\n" + " }]\n" + "}]}";
String name = JsonUtil.getJsonElementFromJsonStringUsingPath("data>0>stuff>0>onetype>0>name", json, ">").getAsString();
int id= JsonUtil.getJsonElementFromJsonStringUsingPath("data>0>stuff>0>onetype>0>id",json,">").getAsInt();
System.out.println("id : "+id);
System.out.println("name : "+name);
}
}

You can use GSon, I've used it before (see below)
// Convert to a JSON object to print data
JsonParser jp = new JsonParser(); //from gson
JsonElement root = jp.parse(new InputStreamReader((InputStream) request.getContent())); //Convert the input stream to a json element
JsonObject rootobj = root.getAsJsonObject(); //May be an array, may be an object.
JsonArray jsonDataArray = rootobj.getAsJsonArray("data");
JsonPrimitive totalJson = rootobj.getAsJsonPrimitive("total");
JsonPrimitive nextJson = rootobj.getAsJsonPrimitive("next");
I have this json in java:
jsonObj = {"ps":["2.16.840.1.113883.6.1","LOINC","2.34"]}
jsonObj is response from an API, so I have it as jsonObject and I don't read it from any file.
Is there an easy way to extract all the values as individuals like jsonObj [1]?
You may Use Gson parsing library as below :
Gson gson = new Gson();
// 1. JSON to Java object, read it from a file.
Staff staff = gson.fromJson(new FileReader("D:\\file.json"), Staff.class);
// 2. JSON to Java object, read it from a Json String.
String jsonInString = "{'name' : 'mkyong'}";
Staff staff = gson.fromJson(jsonInString, Staff.class);
// JSON to JsonElement, convert to String later.
JsonElement json = gson.fromJson(new FileReader("D:\\file.json"), JsonElement.class);
String result = gson.toJson(json);
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonInString = "{\"userId\":\"1\",\"userName\":\"Yasir\"}";
User user= gson.fromJson(jsonInString, User.class);
or simply use:
example
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(your_json_response_string);
String IMEICheckResponse = object.getString("getIMEIResult");
for Array use :
//getting whole json string
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
//extracting data array from json string
JSONArray ja_data = jsonObj.getJSONArray("data");
int length = jsonObj .length();
You should use a library to deserialize your JSON in a Java Object.
Libraries like GSON, Genson or Jackson.
Once you transform the json in a object, it will have a property called "ps" that will be an array (or a List)
I have a Json Array as string without name and I want to parse it how can i do it in android ?
My array :
{"emp_info":[
{"id":"1","groupe":"1","professeur":"1"},
{"id":"2","groupe":"2","professeur":"1"}
]}
This is how you can parse it
Assuming your json string is data
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(data);
JSONArray empInfo = jsonObj.getJSONArray("emp_info");
for(int i = 0; i < empInfo.length(); i++){
JSONObject obj = empInfo.getJSONObject(i);
String id = obj.getString("id");
String groupe = obj.getString("groupe");
String professeur = obj.getString("professeur");
}
The example json you gave has a name, but if it doesn't this is how I do it. Using Gson to parse JSON, I use TypeToken to tell the gson builder it's an array.
List<MyObject> jsonObject = new Gson().fromJson(json, new TypeToken<List<MyObject>>().getType());
With the following code you'll have an object representation of your json array.
I have the following code:
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
System.out.println("gson.toJson: " + gson.toJson(roomList));
JsonObject json2 = parser.parse("{\"b\":\"c\"}").getAsJsonObject();
System.out.println("json2: " + json2);
JsonObject json = parser.parse(gson.toJson(roomList)).getAsJsonObject();
System.out.println("json: " + json);
It gives me the following output:
gson.toJson: [{"id":"8a3d16bb328c9ba201328c9ba5db0000","roomID":9411,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328b9f3a01328b9f3bb80000","roomID":1309,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328ba09101328ba09edd0000","roomID":1304,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bb8af640000","roomID":4383,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd271fe0001","roomID":5000,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd2e0e30002","roomID":2485,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd3087b0003","roomID":6175,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd35a840004","roomID":3750,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd366250005","roomID":370,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd3807d0006","roomID":9477,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"}]
json2: {"b":"c"}
java.lang.IllegalStateException: This is not a JSON Object.
Can someone please help me parse my Json string to JsonObject? I have checked in http://jsonlint.com/ that my json is valid though.
It's because due to the JSON structure..
I have to put it into a JSONObject first, like so
JsonObject jsonObj = new JsonObject();
jsonObj.addProperty(ServerConstants.JSONoutput, gson.toJson(roomList));
Then I would deserialize like
List<RoomData> roomList = gson.fromJson(jsonObj.get(CardGameConstants.JSONoutput).toString(), listType);
for (RoomData roomData : roomList) {
System.out.println(roomData.getRoomID());
}
This should give you some basic idea.
ArrayList<String> roomTypes = new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);
for(int i =0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++){
roomTypes.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("roomType"));
}
The problem with the code is that roomList is not a JsonObject as evident in the printed output. It's actually a JsonArray.
To fix the code, call .getAsJsonArray() (instead of .getAsJsonObject())
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
System.out.println("gson.toJson: " + gson.toJson(roomList));
JsonObject json2 = parser.parse("{\"b\":\"c\"}").getAsJsonObject();
System.out.println("json2: " + json2);
JsonArray json = parser.parse(gson.toJson(roomList)).getAsJsonArray();
System.out.println("json: " + json);
