java - Retrieving values from nested JSON Object

I've got JSON file, which I want to parse.
The JSON file ("myfile") has format as follows:

{
    "LanguageLevels": {
        "1": "Początkujący",

        "2": "ŚrednioZaawansowany",
        "3": "Zaawansowany",
        "4": "Ekspert"
    }
}

I want to retrieve value (ŚrednioZaawansowany) of Key 2 from Language Levels.

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 JsonSimpleExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {


JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();

try {

    Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader("myfile"); 
    JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) obj;
    JSONObject jsonChildObject = (JSONObject)jsonObject.get("LanguageLevels");

What to do next? How I can iterate over it?

Answer

Maybe you're not using the latest version of a JSON for Java Library.

json-simple has not been updated for a long time, while JSON-Java was updated 2 month ago.

JSON-Java can be found on GitHub, here is the link to its repo: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-java

After switching the library, you can refer to my sample code down below:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String JSON = "{\"LanguageLevels\":{\"1\":\"Pocz\\u0105tkuj\\u0105cy\",\"2\":\"\\u015arednioZaawansowany\",\"3\":\"Zaawansowany\",\"4\":\"Ekspert\"}}\n";

    JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(JSON);
    JSONObject getSth = jsonObject.getJSONObject("LanguageLevels");
    Object level = getSth.get("2");

    System.out.println(level);
}

And as JSON-Java open-sourced, you can read the code and its document, they will guide you through.

Hope that it helps.
