Question

I need to call this URL: https://login.skype.com/json/validator?new_username=name.surname

I obtain a json file format. I need only to take the element associated to tag “status”. For the above link is “status”:406, so I need the value 406. What is the most simple way for implementing a parser that get only this element?

Answer 1

Simplest way to do it for this particular situation is

JSONObject obj=new JSONObject(myJSONString);
String status=obj.getString("status");

You’ll have to handle the JSONException incase the tag “status” isn’t found.
