I'm now trying to get JSON Object with using HTTP request in Java cord.
I want to know how I can get response or JSON object in the following cord.
Please let me know.
(In this program, I try to get Wikipedia categories of the article "New York". )
String requestURL = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=categories&format=json&clshow=!hidden&cllimit=10&titles=" + words[i];
URL wikiRequest = new URL(requestURL);
URLConnection connection = wikiRequest.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
/**** I'd like to get response here. ****/
JSONObject json = Util.parseJson(response);
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(wikiRequest.openStream());
String response = scanner.useDelimiter("\\Z").next();
JSONObject json = Util.parseJson(response);
scanner.close();
Just 2 lines of code with JSONTokener
JSONTokener tokener = new JSONTokener(wikiRequest.openStream());
JSONObject root = new JSONObject(tokener);
If you are using URLConnection you should be able to read the stream instead of getting a response object:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
see: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/readingWriting.html
Sample implementation with corn-httpclient & corn-converter
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(new URI(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=categories&format=json&clshow=!hidden&cllimit=10&titles=" + words[i]));
HttpResponse response = client.sendData(HTTP_METHOD.GET);
if (! response.hasError()) {
String jsonString = response.getData();
JsTypeComplex jsonResponse = (JsTypeComplex) JsonStringParser.parseJsonString(jsonString);
JsTypeList resultsArr = (JsTypeList) jsonResponse.get("results");
