Question

I have a java code:

URL oracle = new URL("https://x.x.x.x.x.x.-001");
System.out.println(oracle.openStream());
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(oracle.openStream()));

String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
        System.out.println(inputLine);

Which is opening the connection and printing the contents of it. The contents are indeed Json. The output is something like:

{
  "merchantId": "guest",
  "txnId": "guest-1349269250-001",
}

I wish to parse this in json simple jar. I changed the code loop like this:

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
        obj.put("Result",inputLine);

But that doesn’t seem to be working. The output I’m getting is:

{"Result":"}"}

You should use the JSONParser#Parse() method or the JSONValue#parse() method :

URL oracle = new URL("https://x.x.x.x.x.x.-001");
System.out.println(oracle.openStream());
Reader in = new InputStreamReader(oracle.openStream());

Object json = JSONValue.parse(in);
