Working with JSON objects in Java

Last Updated on Wednesday 5th Oct 2022

Json Array Java

When accessing an API or similar to obtain information, the response may come into the form of JSON.

  • Receive response
  • Convert response string to JSON object
  • Parse JSON object

jsonarray java

			
					[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "post1",
    "created_at": "2021-06-24T12:25:52.000Z",
    "updated_at": "2021-06-24T12:25:52.000Z"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "post2",
    "created_at": "2021-06-24T12:26:05.000Z",
    "updated_at": "2021-06-24T12:26:05.000Z"
  }
]

Convert response strings to JSON objects

getjsonarray java

			
					JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(responseJSON);

Parse json objects and log the name attribute of a record

			
					for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
  JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
  String value = jsonLineItem.getString("name");
  ....
}

jsonarray java example

			
					JSONArray dataaa = new JSONArray(Arrays.asList(new JSONObject(
        new HashMap() {
            {
                put("adam", 11);
                put("broad", 22);
            }
        }
    ),
    new JSONObject(
        new HashMap() {
            {
                put("adam", 33);
                put("broad", 44);
            }
        }
    )));

convert to List JSONObject

			
					  List<JSONObject> items = IntStream.range(0, dataaa.length())
            .mapToObj(index -> (JSONObject) dataaa.get(index))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

Access the array elements now

			
					items.forEach(each -> System.out.println(each.get("adam"))); // 11 33
