java - Parse JSON with org.json




I'm trying to parse an output from a server that looks like this:




{
"GetFolderFilesByZoneResult": [
{
"ID": 98748,
"CreatedBy": "",
"UpdatedBy": "none",
"CreatedDate": "\/Date(1308273033620+0100)\/",
"UpdatedDate": "\/Date(1308303003770+0100)\/",
"CommentCount": 0,
"Key": "",

"Enabled": true,
"MimeType": "video",
"Votes": 2,
"TotalRating": 0,
"AllowComments": true,
"ViewCount": 323,
"ReleaseDate": "\/Date(1308273000000+0100)\/",
"ExpireDate": "\/Date(4102444800000+0000)\/",
"Author": "",
"Size": 133799936,

"Tag1": "",
"Tag2": "",
"Tag3": "",
"RecycleBin": false
},
{
"ID": 99107,
"CreatedBy": "",
"UpdatedBy": "none",
"CreatedDate": "\/Date(1308583412520+0100)\/",

"UpdatedDate": "\/Date(1308583564007+0100)\/",
"CommentCount": 0,
"Key": "",
"Enabled": true,
"MimeType": "video",
"Votes": 0,
"TotalRating": 0,
"AllowComments": true,
"ViewCount": 33,
"ReleaseDate": "\/Date(1308583380000+0100)\/",

"ExpireDate": "\/Date(4102444800000+0000)\/",
"Author": "",
"Size": 47955968,
"Tag1": "",
"Tag2": "",
"Tag3": "",
"RecycleBin": false
}
]
}



I'm trying to use Java org.json to parse it, but I don't have any experience with JSON/org.json, so I'm having a little trouble. How can I parse this?


Answer



1) Assuming you have the JSON libraries on your path (from www.json.org), it's pretty easy.



import org.json.JSONTokener;
...

URI uri = new URI("http://someserver/data.json");

JSONTokener tokener = new JSONTokener(uri.toURL().openStream());
JSONObject root = new JSONObject(tokener);


From there, you can address the various parts of the JSON object. Take a look at the Javadocs for the specifics.
