This library is simply a fork of the original JSON for Java library written by Douglas Crockford for easy use inside Processing IDE. See the original README below.

Creating a JSONObject with primitive members

/** * Creating a JSONObject with primitive members */JSONObjectobj = newJSONObject(); obj.put("myint", 5); obj.put("myfloat", 5.5); println( obj );

Creating a JSONObject with complex members

/** * Creating a JSONObject with complex members */JSONObjectmyfirstmember = newJSONObject(); myfirstmember.put("myint", 5); JSONObjectmysecondmember = newJSONObject(); mysecondmember.put("myfloat", 5.5); JSONObjectobj = newJSONObject(); obj.put("myobj", myfirstmember); obj.put("myobj2", mysecondmember); println( obj );

Creating a JSONObject from a json-formatted String.

/** * Creating a JSONObject from a json-formatted String. */Stringjson_formatted_string = "{\"myint\":5,\"myfloat\":5.5}"; JSONObjectobj = newJSONObject(json_formatted_string); println( obj );

Creating a JSONArray of primitives

/** * Creating a JSONArray of primitives */JSONArrayarr = newJSONArray(); arr.put(5); arr.put(5.5); arr.put('a'); println(arr);

Creating a JSONArray of objects

/** * Creating a JSONArray of objects */JSONObjectfirst = newJSONObject(); first.put("val", 5); JSONObjectsec = newJSONObject(); sec.put("val", 5.5); JSONObjectthird = newJSONObject(); third.put("val", 'a'); JSONArrayarr = newJSONArray(); arr.put(first); arr.put(sec); arr.put(third); println(arr);

JSON in Java [package org.json]

JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format. See http://www.JSON.org/

The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java. It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP headers, Cookies, and CDL.

This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until then, choose carefully.

The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good, not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different package.

The package compiles on Java 1.2 thru Java 1.4.

JSONObject.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant object serialization.

JSONArray.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant array serialization.

JSONTokener.java: The JSONTokener breaks a text into a sequence of individual tokens. It can be constructed from a String, Reader, or InputStream.

JSONException.java: The JSONException is the standard exception type thrown by this package.

JSONString.java: The JSONString interface requires a toJSONString method, allowing an object to provide its own serialization.

JSONStringer.java: The JSONStringer provides a convenient facility for building JSON strings.

JSONWriter.java: The JSONWriter provides a convenient facility for building JSON text through a writer.

CDL.java: CDL provides support for converting between JSON and comma delimited lists.

Cookie.java: Cookie provides support for converting between JSON and cookies.

CookieList.java: CookieList provides support for converting between JSON and cookie lists.

HTTP.java: HTTP provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers.

HTTPTokener.java: HTTPTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing HTTP headers.

XML.java: XML provides support for converting between JSON and XML.

JSONML.java: JSONML provides support for converting between JSONML and XML.

XMLTokener.java: XMLTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing XML text.
