Question

How to parse JSON in Java?

Answer 1

Before starting, I would like my readers to first understand what a JSON based API is. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is now being used as a profound and efficient way of gathering, collecting, or share data among applications and interfaces. JSON provides data to its corresponding calling function in key value pairs, ‘key’ as in the variable and ‘value’ as in the corresponding value for the variable. The data that is parsed from a JSON API is in the form of objects that need to be converted into their respective data formats as acceptable by the system.

Answer 2

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data exchange format that is easy for humans and machines to read and write. JSON can represent two structured types: objects and arrays. An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs. An array is an ordered sequence of zero or more values. The values can be strings, numbers, booleans, null, and these two structured types.☺☺☺
