I've a json file like :

{
  "a1" : {
    "Contestant 1 marks" : 44,
    "Contestant 10 marks" : 30,
    "Contestant 11 marks" : 15,
    "Contestant 12 marks" : 35,
    "Contestant 13 marks" : 28,
    "Contestant 14 marks" : 8,
    "Contestant 2 marks" : 35,
    "Contestant 3 marks" : 30.899999618530273,
    "Contestant 4 marks" : 39,
    "Contestant 5 marks" : 45,
    "Contestant 6 marks" : 47,
    "Contestant 7 marks" : 17,
    "Contestant 8 marks" : 37,
    "Contestant 9 marks" : 35
  },
  "a2" : {
    "Contestant 1 marks" : 35,
    "Contestant 10 marks" : 30,
    "Contestant 11 marks" : 15,
    "Contestant 12 marks" : 35,
    "Contestant 13 marks" : 28,
    "Contestant 14 marks" : 8,
    "Contestant 2 marks" : 30,
    "Contestant 3 marks" : 30.899999618530273,
    "Contestant 4 marks" : 39,
    "Contestant 5 marks" : 45,
    "Contestant 6 marks" : 47,
    "Contestant 7 marks" : 17,
    "Contestant 8 marks" : 37,
    "Contestant 9 marks" : 35
  }
}

It seems like there are two JSON objects here a1, a2. And these objects itself have 14 JSON objects.

I've a String completeJson; which contains complete JSON.

Now when I write 

JSONObject jsonRootObj = new JSONObject(completeJson);

Then whilch json object will come into jsonRootObj?

Also how do I get the value for the key : "Contestant 1 marks" for a1 and a2 in my JSON file ?

I want to add the value of objects in a1 with value of objects in a2 which have the same KEY.

You can get the parse a1 and a2 to be JSONObject, and then change values.

JSONObject jsonRootObj = JSON.parseObject(completeJson);
JSONObject a1 = jsonRootObj.getJSONObject("a1");
JSONObject a2 = jsonRootObj.getJSONObject("a2");
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : a1.entrySet()) {
    if (a2.containsKey(entry.getKey())) {
        a2.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
    }
}

P.S: My JSON parser is fastjson

in this way you get values from A1: 

long valA1 = ((Long)((JSONObject)jo.get("a1")).get("Contestant 1 marks")).longValue();

in this way you put in A2:

((JSONObject)((JSONObject)jo.get("a2")).get("Contestant 1 marks")).put("Contestant 1 marks", valA1);

where jo is:

JSONParser jp = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jo = (JSONObject)jp.parse(<your json string>);

Lets make your life easier.

Download gson library.

Right Click on the project, Build Path->Add External Archives.

Then create a class with whatever name you want(I used Example.java):

import com.google.gson.annotations.Expose;
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;

public class Example {

    @SerializedName("a1")
    @Expose
    private A1 a1;
    @SerializedName("a2")
    @Expose
    private A2 a2;

    /**
     * @return The a1
     */
    public A1 getA1() {
        return a1;
    }

    /**
     * @param a1 The a1
     */
    public void setA1(A1 a1) {
        this.a1 = a1;
    }

    /**
     * @return The a2
     */
    public A2 getA2() {
        return a2;
    }

    /**
     * @param a2 The a2
     */
    public void setA2(A2 a2) {
        this.a2 = a2;
    }

    public class A1 {

        @SerializedName("Contestant 1 marks")
        @Expose
        private int contestant1Marks;
        @SerializedName("Contestant 10 marks")
        @Expose
        private int contestant10Marks;
        @SerializedName("Contestant 11 marks")

            this.contestant9Marks = contestant9Marks;
        }

    }

}

After that,

String yourString = "json in String format";
Example example = new Gson().fromJson(yourString, Example.class);
example.getA1().getContestant1Marks();
example.getA2().getContestant1Marks();

Thats it. You can use these getter methods.

PS: I created this class using jsonschema2pojo by copying your json in to it.

Happy Coding...!!!

  • I don't have gradle in my java project.. what should I do? If I do this in android then there I'll have to fetch the JSON file from the server (But I'dont have a server for that) – Ayushi bhardwaj Jul 27 '16 at 11:09
  • Can you please tell how do I implement your method into eclipse project? – Amit Upadhyay Jul 27 '16 at 11:41
  • @Ayushibhardwaj Please check this post: http://stackoverflow.com/a/31829107/1739882 – Chintan Soni Jul 27 '16 at 11:41
  • @Ayushibhardwaj You have got jar file easily. You have my code ready. You just need to manage to add this jar file in your project. Try it.. – Chintan Soni Jul 27 '16 at 11:59
  • @AmitUpadhyay Remember.. this Example.java model only works with JSON provided with the question. If your JSON is different from this, you will need to create another model from the website I mentioned. – Chintan Soni Jul 27 '16 at 12:44

Your JSON String contains a nameless root element, starting at the first { and ending at the last }. This object will get into the jsonRootObj variable. To get the a1 or a2 object, do something like that:

JSONObject a1 = jsonRootObj.getJSONObject("a1");

To get the value of the first contestant in a1, you can do something like this:

int marks = a1.getInt("Contestant 1 marks");

You can find the complete Javadoc of JSONObject here. There is no need to have a JSON Array.

  • @AmitUpadhyay Are you sure that the `completeJson` variable contains the JSON code you posted in your question? – msrd0 Jul 27 '16 at 19:45
