So the json look like this
{
"cover":"AddressBook",
"Addresses":[
{
"id":"1",
"NickName":"Rahul",
"ContactName":"Dravid",
"Company":"Cricket",
"City":"Indore",
"Country":"India",
"Type":"Address"
},
{
"id":"2",
"NickName":"Sachin",
"ContactName":"Tendulkar",
"Company":"Cricket",
"City":"Mumbai",
"Country":"India",
"Type":"Address"
}
]
}
I want to extract the data from the id = 1 using the JSON array, but I am not sure how to use the syntax or some other way the code I have is this :
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
FileReader reader = new FileReader("AddressBook.json");
Object obj = jsonParser.parse(reader);
address = (JSONArray)obj;
You have to loop through the "Addresses" array.
JSONObject addressBook = (JSONObject) jsonParser.parse(reader);
JSONArray addresses = (JSONArray) addressBook.get("Addresses");
JSONObject address = null;
for (Object find : addresses) {
if (((JSONObject) find).get("id").equals("1")) {
address = (JSONObject) find;
}
}
System.out.println(address.toJSONString());
Output
{"Company":"Cricket","Type":"Address","Country":"India","id":"1","City":"Indore","NickName":"Rahul","ContactName":"Dravid"}
