Question

I’m writing an application using the public Tumblr API, just for fun. I have set up my oauth keys, and I have the URL for accessing my blog’s info. I was wondering how I could take the JSON-encoded data from that page and turn it into Strings for working with.

To be clear, if I wanted a blog’s title, I could send a request to this URL and select the data for the title.

Thanks!

I’ve used Restlet for retrieving JSON data from a rest service. Below is the sample

Representation entity = new ClientResource("your url").get();
JsonRepresentation jsonRepresentation = new JsonRepresentation(entity.getText());
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonRepresentation.getJsonObject();
