Any method of passing the Json data in URL format using JSONObject?

I create a java URL class which contain my Json data and have some function to obtain back my json data for doing some data comparison, I found out it's might not support by JSONObject for passing the data into the JSONObject. Do I need to use JSONArray in my case because my JSON data have array structure as well?
try
{
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject ();
obj.readJsonFromUrl(theUrl);
System.out.println(obj.toString());
}
catch(MalformedURLException e)
{
System.out.print("your problem here ...1");
}
}
else
{
System.out.print("Can't Connect");
}
I am sure that this is the place give me the error message because it return me this error in my compiler
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method readJsonFromUrl(URL) is undefined for the type JSONObject
there are also some warning message for that the JSONObject readJsonFromUrl method
private static JSONObject readJsonFromUrl(URL theUrl) throws IOException, JSONException {
Anyone can provide me the explaination of how the JSON data work in java? I saw quite number of Java class for JSON which make me confuse for it such as JSONObject, JSONArray , JSONValue. I search some information online but I also not very clear about it since I am very new to JSON data processing This is my sample json data and the data I need is scan_result only

As mentioned here, there are many ways to solve this. Either you have to implement the read, parse operations yourself (#Roland Illig 's answer)
//you have to implement the readJSON method
InputStream is = new URL(url).openStream();
try {
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
String jsonText = readAll(rd);
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonText);
return json;
} finally {
is.close();
}
Or you could use a library. The most well-known and widely used libraries are jackson and gson.
The big picture is that you try to "map" your json Object to a class.
You have your json file:
{
"id":1,
"name":"eirini",
"hobbies":["music","philosophy","football"]
}
and a class that represents this file and will store the values (depending on the library that you use there might be different requirements, for example getters, setters etc..)
public class Person {
public int id;
public String name;
public List<String> hobbies = new ArrayList<String>();
public String toString() {
return name +" has the id: " + id + " the following hobbies" + hobbies.get(0) + " " + hobbies.get(2);
}
}
Finally in your main method:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ParseException {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
InputStream input = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(FILE); //read your file. There are many ways to achieve this.
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // just need one
Person eirini = mapper.readValue(input, Person.class);
System.out.println(eirini.toString());

You cannot pass json in url, you can pass it in body. Writing Json to stream body and post it using regular java method.
Here is oracle community url of explanation of your problem.
Required Jar can be downloaded from here.
Test Code Follows:
URL url = new URL("https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=java&type=post");
try (InputStream is = url.openStream();
JsonReader rdr = Json.createReader(is)) {
JsonObject obj = rdr.readObject();
JsonArray results = obj.getJsonArray("data");
for (JsonObject result : results.getValuesAs(JsonObject.class)){
System.out.print(result.getJsonObject("from").getString("name"));
System.out.print(": ");
System.out.println(result.getString("message", ""));
System.out.println("-----------");
}
}

How to convert Java Class and Java Array List to JSON

I have a Java class and I want to convert it to JSON so I can POST it to WCF Service
Here an Example of what I'm looking for:
Invoice invoice = new Invoice();
InvoiceMaster IM = new InvoiceMaster();
IM.setClientId(SelectedClient.getId());
IM.setDate("2016-01-01");
IM.setTypeId(1);
IM.setOrderedBy("abc");
invoice.setHeader(IM);
InvoiceDetail ID;
List<InvoiceDetail> IDs = new ArrayList<>();
for (OrderItem I : items) {
ID = new InvoiceDetail();
ID.setItemId(I.getItemId());
ID.setQty(I.getQuantity());
ID.setUnitPrice(I.getUnitPrice());
ID.setTotalPrice(I.getTotalPrice());
ID.setNotes("");
ID.setUnitId(0);
IDs.add(ID);
}
invoice.setDetails(IDs);
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.accumulate("Invoice", invoice);
//Code to Debug the result ------
String json = jsonObject.toString();
Log.d("ABC:",json);
//------------------------------
the result is like following
{"Invoice":"com.technoplusplus.distribution.Classes.Invoice#3960a129"}
Invoice is Parcelable and also the Invoice.Header is Java class (InvoiceMaster is Parcelable) and Invoice.Details is List of Java Class (InvoiceDetail class is Parcelable)
Thanks

just do this (Gson from google)
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(invoice);

Create JSONObject from POJO

I created a simple POJO:
public class LoginPojo {
private String login_request = null;
private String email = null;
private String password = null;
// getters, setters
}
After some searching I found this: JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject( loginPojo );
But with this I got the error:
The constructor JSONObject(LoginPojo) is undefined
I found another solution:
JSONObject loginJson = new JSONObject();
loginJson.append(loginPojo);
But this method does not exist.
So how can I convert my POJO into a JSON?

Simply use the java Gson API:
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
String json = gson.toJson(obj);// obj is your object
And then you can create a JSONObject from this json String, like this:
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(json);
Take a look at Gson user guide and this SIMPLE GSON EXAMPLE for more information.

It is possible to get a (gson) JsonObject from POJO:
JsonElement element = gson.toJsonTree(userNested);
JsonObject object = element.getAsJsonObject();
After that you can take object.entrySet() and look up all the tree.
It is the only absolutely free way in GSON to set dynamically what fields you want to see.

Jackson provides JSON parser/JSON generator as foundational building block; and adds a powerful Databinder (JSON<->POJO) and Tree Model as optional add-on blocks. This means that you can read and write JSON either as stream of tokens (Streaming API), as Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs, databind) or as Trees (Tree Model). for more reference
You have to add jackson-core-asl-x.x.x.jar, jackson-mapper-asl-x.x.x.jar libraries to configure Jackson in your project.
Modified Code :
LoginPojo loginPojo = new LoginPojo();
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
try {
mapper.setVisibility(JsonMethod.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
// Setting values to POJO
loginPojo.setEmail("a#a.com");
loginPojo.setLogin_request("abc");
loginPojo.setPassword("abc");
// Convert user object to json string
String jsonString = mapper.writeValueAsString(loginPojo);
// Display to console
System.out.println(jsonString);
} catch (JsonGenerationException e){
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JsonMappingException e){
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
Output :
{"login_request":"abc","email":"a#a.com","password":"abc"}

JSONObject input = new JSONObject(pojo);
This worked with latest version.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.json</groupId>
<artifactId>json</artifactId>
<version>20180130</version>
</dependency>

You can also use project lombok with Gson overriding toString function. It automatically includes builders, getters and setters in order to ease the data assignment like this:
User user = User.builder().username("test").password("test").build();
Find below the example class:
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;
import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
#Data
#Builder(toBuilder = true)
#AllArgsConstructor
#NoArgsConstructor
public class User {
/* User name. */
private String username;
/* Password. */
private String password;
#Override
public String toString() {
return new Gson().toJson(this, User.class);
}
public static User fromJSON(String json) {
return new Gson().fromJson(json, User.class);
}
}

Simply you can use the below solution:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String str = mapper.writeValueAsString(loginPojo);
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(str);

I use jackson in my project, but I think that u need a empty constructor.
public LoginPojo(){
}

You can use
<dependency>
<groupId>com.alibaba</groupId>
<artifactId>fastjson</artifactId>
<version>1.2.13</version>
</dependency>
To create a JSON object:
#Test
public void whenGenerateJson_thanGenerationCorrect() throws ParseException {
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.put("AGE", 10);
jsonObject.put("FULL NAME", "Doe " + i);
jsonObject.put("DATE OF BIRTH", "2016/12/12 12:12:12");
jsonArray.add(jsonObject);
}
String jsonOutput = jsonArray.toJSONString();
}
Add the annotations to your POJO class like so:
#JSONField(name = "DATE OF BIRTH")
private String dateOfBirth;
etc...
Then you can simply use:
#Test
public void whenJson_thanConvertToObjectCorrect() {
Person person = new Person(20, "John", "Doe", new Date());
String jsonObject = JSON.toJSONString(person);
Person newPerson = JSON.parseObject(jsonObject, Person.class);
assertEquals(newPerson.getAge(), 0); // if we set serialize to false
assertEquals(newPerson.getFullName(), listOfPersons.get(0).getFullName());
}

parse simple-JSONObject in JSONObject

i want to simple parse it to jsonObject .
the resone way is this i just want to manage order of the object
try {
{ JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
ContainerFactory containerFactory = new ContainerFactory(){
public List creatArrayContainer() {
return new LinkedList(); }
public Map createObjectContainer() {
return new LinkedHashMap(); } };
json = (JSONObject)parser.parse(responce, containerFactory);
this is link where my question is
i m using simple jsonObject

Better use Jackson to simplify your work....
See this link:

how to convert a List of Data to json

I want the following json ,where List<form> will have list of form_id,form_name, how can I convert this using jsonobject, I am not getting the proper json output. Please help me with this.
Json:
{
"forms": [
{ "form_id": "1", "form_name": "test1" },
{ "form_id": "2", "form_name": "test2" }
]
}
The above is the json structure that i need it for a list.Where id ,name is a list from form object
public static JSONObject getJsonFromMyFormObject(List<Form> form) {
JSONObject responseDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
JSONArray jsonArray = null;
System.out.println(form.size());
for (int i = 0; i < form.size(); i++) {
JSONObject formDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
formDetailsJson.put("form_id", form.get(i).getId());
formDetailsJson.put("form_name", form.get(i).getName());
jsonArray = new JSONArray();
jsonArray.add(formDetailsJson);
}
responseDetailsJson.put("form", jsonArray);
return responseDetailsJson;
}
Facing issue here not getting output as a list

The code in the original question is close to achieving the described desired result. Just move the JSONArray instance creation outside of the loop.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
public class Foo
{
public static JSONObject getJsonFromMyFormObject(List<Form> form)
{
JSONObject responseDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
for (int i = 0; i < form.size(); i++)
{
JSONObject formDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
formDetailsJson.put("form_id", form.get(i).getId());
formDetailsJson.put("form_name", form.get(i).getName());
jsonArray.add(formDetailsJson);
}
responseDetailsJson.put("forms", jsonArray);
return responseDetailsJson;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
List<Form> forms = new ArrayList<Form>();
forms.add(new Form("1", "test1"));
forms.add(new Form("2", "test2"));
JSONObject jsonObject = getJsonFromMyFormObject(forms);
System.out.println(jsonObject);
}
}
class Form
{
String id;
String name;
Form(String i, String n)
{
id = i;
name = n;
}
String getId()
{
return id;
}
String getName()
{
return name;
}
}

According the comment from Tushar, here the extract from the aboved linked website:
Now in this part you will study how to use JSON in Java.
To have functionality of JSON in java you must have JSON-lib. JSON-lib also
requires following "JAR" files:
commons-lang.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-logging.jar
ezmorph.jar
json-lib-2.2.2-jdk15.jar
JSON-lib is a java library for that transforms beans, collections, maps, java arrays and XML to JSON and
then for retransforming them back to beans, collections, maps and
others. In this example we are going to use JSONObject class for
creating an object of JSONObject and then we will print these object
value. For using JSONObject class we have to import following package
"net.sf.json". To add elements in this object we have used put()
method. Here is the full example code of FirstJSONJava.java is as
follows:
FirstJSONJava.java
import net.sf.json.JSONObject;
public class FirstJSONJava
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
JSONObject object=new JSONObject();
object.put("name","Amit Kumar");
object.put("Max.Marks",new Integer(100));
object.put("Min.Marks",new Double(40));
object.put("Scored",new Double(66.67));
object.put("nickname","Amit");
System.out.println(object);
}
}
To run this example you have to follow these few steps as follows:
Download JSON-lib jar and other supporting Jars
Add these jars to your classpath
Create and save FirstJSONJava.java
Compile it and execute it.
