Closed 2 years ago.
I got stuck in parsing this JSON, I has read a some references in GitHub or google and not same for this case, can anyone give me guided or references
{
"index":
{
"data":[
{
"id":1,
"name":"John",
"room":31
}
]
}
}
EDIT: we has found a more simple json format
The solve by me
{
"data":[
{
"id":1,
"name":"John",
"room":31
}
]
}
try {
JSONObject jsonArray = new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray list = jsonArray.getJSONArray("data");
for (int i = 0; i <list.length(); i++) {
String id= list.getJSONObject(i).getString("id");
String name = list.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
String room= list.getJSONObject(i).getString("room");
KItem KTItem = new KasusItem(id,name,room);
kItemList.add(KTItem);
}

JSONArray data = JSONObject(response).getJSONObject("index).getJSONArray("data);
for(int i=0; i<data.length; i++){
JSONObject obj = data.getJSONObject(i);
String id = obj.getString("id");
String name = obj.getString("name");
}

How to access JSON value?

Very new to JSON, this is probably very simple but I'm not sure how to access the "coordinates" in this JSON I know how to go from resourceSets to resources but get stuck at "point":
{
"resourceSets":[
{
"estimatedTotal":1,
"resources":[
{
"__type":"Location:http:\/\/schemas.microsoft.com\/search\/local\/ws\/rest\/v1",
"bbox":[
51.3223903,
-0.2634519,
51.3246386,
-0.2598541
],
"name":"name",
"point":{
"type":"Point",
"coordinates":[
51.3235145,
-0.261653
]
}
}
]
}
]
}
My code so far:
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jObj = (JSONObject)parser.parse(result);
JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray)jObj.get("resourceSets");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.size(); i ++) {
JSONObject jObjResourceSets = (JSONObject)jsonArray.get(i);
JSONArray jsonArray2 = (JSONArray)jObjResourceSets.get("resources");
System.out.println("Coords" + jObjResourceSets.get("point"));
}

Lets analyse what you're doing (and need to be doing), step by step, in order to get the "coordinates".
First of all, JSON is a great language to transfer static data. It works like a dictionary, where you have a key and the respective value. The key should always be a String, but the value can be a String, an int/double or even an array of other JSON objects. That's what you have.
For instance, "estimatedTotal" is an element (JSONObject) from the "resourceSet" array (JSONArray).
JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray)jObj.get("resourceSets");
What you're saying here is straight forward: from your overall JSONObject - jObj - you want to extract the array with key "resourceSets".
Now you have direct access to "resourceSets" array elements: "estimatedTotal", "resources", etc. So, by applying the same logic, in order to access "coordinates" we need to access the "resources" array. And by that I mean to create a JSONArray object like we did before.
JSONArray jsonResourcesArray = (JSONArray)jObjResourceSets.get("resources");
I hope it's clear what's the content of jsonResourcesArray here. It's the JSON array of "__type", "bbox", "name", "point", (...). The Coordinates howevere are inside "point" JSON object. How do we access it?
JSONObject jsonPointObject = (JSONObject) jsonResourcesArray.get("point");
And you know by know that "jsonPointObject" has as its values the following JSON objects: "type" and "coordinates". Coordinates is an array of values, so do we have to use JSONArray or JSONObject?
JSONArray jsonCoordinatesArray = (JSONArray) jsonPointObject.get("coordinates");
From which we mean: from the jsonPointObject we want to extract the array that has key "coordinates". Now your array is a JSONArray with values of jsonCoordinatesArray.get(0) and jsonCoordinatesArray.get(0).
Now you have, not only the code to get those values, but the understanding of how JSON works and how Java interacts with it so you can solve any Json problem from now on.

Normally this code works for the given JSON object. However I'll put the tested formatted JSON value below the java code so you can test it as well.
Note that this code will get you all the coordinates of all the elements in your object.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String result = getJsonString();
// Getting root object
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jObj = (JSONObject)parser.parse(result);
// Getting resourceSets Array
JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray)jObj.get("resourceSets");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.size(); i++) {
// Getting the i object of resourceSet
JSONObject jObjResourceSets = (JSONObject) jsonArray.get(i);
// Getting resources list of the current element
JSONArray jsonArray2 = (JSONArray) jObjResourceSets.get("resources");
for (int j = 0; j < jsonArray2.size(); j++) {
// Getting the j resource of the resources array
JSONObject resource = (JSONObject) jsonArray2.get(j);
// Getting the point object of the current resource
JSONObject point = (JSONObject) resource.get("point");
// Getting the coordinates list of the point
JSONArray coordinates = (JSONArray) point.get("coordinates");
for (int k = 0; k < coordinates.size(); k++) {
System.out.println("Coordinates[" + k + "]: " + coordinates.get(k));
}
// Printing an empty line between each object's coordinates
System.out.println();
}
}
}
The tested JSON Object:
{
"resourceSets":[
{
"estimatedTotal":1,
"resources":[
{
"__type":"Location:http:\/\/schemas.microsoft.com\/search\/local\/ws\/rest\/v1",
"bbox":[
51.3223903,
-0.2634519,
51.3246386,
-0.2598541
],
"name":"name",
"point":{
"type":"Point",
"coordinates":[
51.3235145,
-0.261653
]
}
}
]
}
]
}
If it worked please mark it as the answer.
Good luck ^^

You need the following piece of code to get the data.
JSONArray jsonArray2 = (JSONArray)jObjResourceSets.get("resources");
/**
* here we should note that the "resources" is only having one JSON object hence we can take it as below
* from 0th index using ((JSONObject)jsonArray2.get(0)) these piece of code and the next part is to take the point JSONObject
* from the object.
*/
JSONObject temp = (JSONObject)((JSONObject)jsonArray2.get(0)).get("point");
System.out.println("Coords"+temp.get("coordinates")); //this will give you the coordinates array
//now if you want to do further processing, traverse in the jsonArray like below
JSONArray arr= (JSONArray)temp.get("coordinates");
System.out.println("X coordinate:"+arr.get(0));
System.out.println("Y coordinate:"+arr.get(1));

How to put an value to the extracting JSON and display it

I wanna display a parsed json with my values . I mean , I wanna add some values to the json and display it . I can display all result from respond , but I wanna display just the json with my values not all data :)
here i have parsed allready my json
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(adresUrl);
JSONArray offerResources = jsonObject.getJSONArray("offerResources");
for(int y = 0; y < offerResources.length(); y++){
JSONObject currentTransfer = offerResources.getJSONObject(y);
JSONArray meetPoint = currentTransfer.getJSONArray("meetPoints");
for (int i = 0; i < meetPoint.length(); i++){
JSONObject currentMeetPoints = meetPoint.getJSONObject(i);
String startAddress = currentMeetPoints.getString("startAddress"); // here i wanna put some values , but i dont know how
// here is a litle piece of my json :)
"meetPoints": [
{
"startAddress": "....", // after the collon i have to put my value .
"startLocation": {
thank you for your help

I'm not sure if I understood your question fully but from what I got here is some solution. I simply created a string and couple of Json objects and jsonarray for adding the list of values and put it inside the main json object "jsonValueObject " and accumulate it inside meetPoints.
Accumulate(String key,Object Value) is a key value pair, meaning if key is created then Object is checked for being an array,and if this array has "values", it will be added else new array will be created. "Put" will replace the value if the key exists.
String jsonString = "{\"results\":[{\"Country\":\"value\",\"state\":\"value\" },
{ \"Country\":\"value\", \"state\":\"value\"}]}";
JSONObject meetPoints = new JSONObject(jsonDataString);
JSONObject jsonValueObject = new JSONObject();
JSONArray list = new JSONArray();
jsonValueObject.put("Country", "newValue");
jsonValueObject.put("state", "newValue");
jsonValueObject.put("city", "Chennai");
jsonValueObject.put("street", "Bharathiyar Street");
jsonValueObject.put("date", "14May2017");
jsonValueObject.put("time", "10:00AM");
list.put(jsonValueObject);
meetPoints.accumulate("values", list);
System.out.println(meetPoints);

Get the count of entries from a json file

I am trying to get json data from a fake api call and need to get the count of the items in it(so that in future I can call the actual restful service). I am not able to get the number of departments in the json. I am expecting the result as 4(int) here.
I am not able to get the string value(json) for the code below:
String json = client.target("file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/apache-tomcat-8.0.35/webapps/GetProducts.json").request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get(String.class);
Please find below the entire code:
String json = client.target("file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/apache-tomcat-8.0.35/webapps/GetProducts.json").request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get(String.class);
JSONObject jsnobject = new JSONObject(json);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsnobject.getJSONArray("locations");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject explrObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
}
JSON Sample:
{
"Department":
[
{"SectionId":"1","SectionName":"Childrens Wear"},
{"SectionId":"2","SectionName":"Womens Wear"},
{"SectionId":"3","SectionName":"F&A"},
{"SectionId":"1","SectionName":"Mens Wear"}
]
}
I am new to java as well as api's.
Thanks,

You are either using incorrect key in code or you posted incorrect JSON example. You used locations as the key incode however there is no value against that key in sample JSON. You need to use Department as the key.
JSONArray jsonArray = jsnobject.getJSONArray("Department");

Android parse Json array of Strings

How can I parse in Android a Json array of strings and save it in a java string array ( like: xy[ ] ) ?
My Json to be parsed :
[
{
"streets": [ "street1", "street2", "street3",... ],
}
]
Later in my code I want to populated with that array a spinner item in my layout.
Everything i tried enden with only one street item listed in the spinner.

To parse
try {
JSONArray jr = new JSONArray("Your json string");
JSONObject jb = (JSONObject)jr.getJSONObject(0);
JSONArray st = jb.getJSONArray("streets");
for(int i=0;i<st.length();i++)
{
String street = st.getString(i);
Log.i("..........",""+street);
// loop and add it to array or arraylist
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Once you parse and add it to array. Use the same to populate your spinner.
[ represents json array node
{ represents json object node

Try this..
JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(json string);
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length(); i++){
JSONObject c = arr.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray ar_in = c.getJSONArray("streets");
for(int j = 0; j < ar_in.length(); j++){
Log.v("result--", ar_in.getString(j));
}
}

We need to make JSON object first. For example,
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(resp);
// resp is your JSON string
JSONArray arr = jsonObject.getJSONArray("results");
Log.i(LOG, "arr length = " + arr.length());
for(int i=0;i<arr.length();i++)
{...
arr may contains other JSON Objects or JSON array. How to convert the JSON depends on the String. There is a complete example with some explanation about JSON String to JSON array can be found at http://www.hemelix.com/JSONHandling
