Question

I have this Bing Maps JSON file and I want to retrieve “++formattedAddress++” from inside it

What I have tried so far is like this:

final JSONArray jsonMainArr = locationData.getJSONArray("resourceSets").getJSONObject(0).getJSONArray("resources");
final JSONObject childJSONObject = jsonMainArr.getJSONObject(0);
return childJSONObject.getString("formattedAddress");

childJSONObject is still 2-3 levels over formattedAddress and the query is becoming highly inefficient

Answer 1

get formattedAddress address value as from current json String :

final JSONObject childJSONObject = jsonMainArr.getJSONObject(0)
                                                .getJSONObject("address");
return childJSONObject.getString("++formattedAddress++");
