Question

I have this java project and I’m not using an IDE.

What do I need to do to have JSONObject available in my program?

What do I need to import?

My goal is parse a JSON response.

edit
I know what libs I need, I just dont know where to place their files or how to call them correctly.

Answer 1

That depends on which JSONObject you need.

The one from json.org is packaged under org.json. Add this at the beginning of your files:

import org.json.JSONObject;

and place JSONObject.java (if you have the file) in your_project_dir/org/json/. If you have a jar file, then the directory structure is already correct within the file and you only need to point the compiler to the jar.

Do you want the one from GWT? Try:

import com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONObject;

Then, if you have the source code, it belongs to the com/google/gwt/json/client directory.

Then there is a jsonLib:

import net.sf.json.JSONObject;
