[java] How to parse a JSON and turn its values into an Array?

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.

JsonParserFactory factory=JsonParserFactory.getInstance();
JSONParser parser=factory.newJsonParser();
Map jsonMap=parser.parseJson(jsonString);
