public static void parseProfilesJson(String the_json){
try {
JSONObject myjson = new JSONObject(the_json);
JSONArray nameArray = myjson.names();
JSONArray valArray = myjson.toJSONArray(nameArray);
for(int i=0;i<valArray.length();i++)
{
String p = nameArray.getString(i) + "," + ValArray.getString(i);
Log.i("p",p);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
As you can see, this sample code will print out the KEY of the JSONs, followed by the VALUES of the JSONS.
It would print profiles, john if the json was like this:
{'profiles':'john'}
That's cool. That's fine, as I can work with those variables. However, what if the JSON was like this:
{'profiles': [{'name':'john', 'age': 44}, {'name':'Alex','age':11}]}
In this case, the entire value would be the array. Basically, I just want to grab that array (which is the "value" in this case)...and turn it into an actual array that JAVA could use. How can I do that? Thanks.
You can prefer quick-json parser to meet your requirement...
quick-json parser is very straight forward, flexible, very fast and customizable. Try this out
[quick-json parser] (https://code.google.com/p/quick-json/) - quick-json features -
Compliant with JSON specification (RFC4627)
High-Performance JSON parser
Supports Flexible/Configurable parsing approach
Configurable validation of key/value pairs of any JSON Heirarchy
Easy to use # Very Less foot print
Raises developer friendly and easy to trace exceptions
Pluggable Custom Validation support - Keys/Values can be validated by configuring custom validators as and when encountered
Validating and Non-Validating parser support
Support for two types of configuration (JSON/XML) for using quick-json validating parser
Require JDK 1.5 # No dependency on external libraries
Support for Json Generation through object serialization
Support for collection type selection during parsing process
For e.g.
for your example:
you will have to do something of this effect:
this returns the array object.
Then iterating will be as follows:
You will have to determine if the data is an array (simply checking that
charAt(0)
starts with[
character).Hope this helps.
