Question

I have this section of code (note that responseBody truly comes from a web server).

public JSONObject getObj(){
    String responseBody = '[{"zip":"56601","city":"Bemidji","state":"MN","county":"Beltrami","dist":"0.14802"},{"zip":"56619","city":"Bemidji","state":"MN","county":"Beltrami","dist":"3.98172"}]';

    JSONObject response = null;

    try{
        response = new JSONObject(responseBody);
    }catch(JSONException ex){
        Logger.getLogger(Http.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
    return response;
}

I don’t understand why JSONObject is throwing an exception. What is making it do that?

Answer 1

This is a JSONArray with a JSONObject in it not a JSONObject.
