How can i parse assets json file having multiple objects and arrays in android studio?

Question

I am totally new to handling JSON and searched a lot but could not manage to understand the parsing related to my json file.

{
    "Category":[

        {"Category_id":1,"Category_name":"Apple","Emails":["abc.nic.in"],"Epabx":[ "2740581", "2740583" ], "Category_Fax" : ["2740557"],
        "Persons":[
            {"Person_ID":1,"Name":"Adam","Designation":"Teacher","Office_Phone":"2740654",
              "Residence_Phone":"2740643","VOIP":"11001","Address":"London","Fax":["NA"],"Ext":"NA"},

            {"Person_ID":2,"Name":"Maria","Designation":"Secy","Office_Phone":"2790654",
              "Residence_Phone":"2792866","VOIP":"NA","Address":"620/7","Fax":["NA"],"Ext":"NA"}, 

            {"Person_ID":3,"Name":"John","Designation":"Secretary","Office_Phone":"2790652",
              "Residence_Phone":"2563411","VOIP":"11011","Address":"5/7","Fax":["NA"],"Ext":"NA"}
              ]},

        {"Category_id":2,"Category_name":"Mango","Emails":["abc.in","abc@gmail.com","abc.nic.in"],"Epabx":["2741523","2743524","2741525","2741528"], "Category_Fax" : ["NA"],
        "Persons":[
            {"Person_ID":1,"Name":"Harry","Designation":"Teacher","Office_Phone":"2740030",
              "Residence_Phone":"2740534","VOIP":"10401","Address":"4/3","Fax":["2747075","2747395"],"Ext":"101"},

            {"Person_ID":2,"Name":"Ray ","Designation":"Secy","Office_Phone":"2740030",
              "Residence_Phone":"2770988","VOIP":"NA","Address":"233/22","Fax":["NA"],"Ext":"NA"}, 

            {"Person_ID":3,"Name":"Sandy","Designation":"Engineer ","Office_Phone":"2741662",
              "Residence_Phone":"2723280 ","VOIP":"10412 ","Address":"280/16","Fax":["2741663"],"Ext":"103 "}

Try this code.

try {

            ArrayList<CategoryList>categoryList = new ArrayList<CategoryList>();
            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject("yourResopnseVariable");

            JSONArray categoryArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("Category");

            for (int i = 0; i < categoryArray.length(); i++)
            {
                JSONObject job = categoryArray.getJSONObject(i);

                int categoryId = job.getInt("Category_id");
                String categoryName = job.getString("Category_name");

                //this is for email array
                ArrayList<String> emails = new ArrayList<>();
                JSONArray emailArray = job.getJSONArray("Emails");
                for (int j = 0; i < emailArray.length(); j++){
                    JSONObject jobE = emailArray.getJSONObject(j);
                    emails.add(jobE.getString(""+j));
                }

                //This i for Epabx array
                ArrayList<String> epabx = new ArrayList<>();
                JSONArray epabxArray = job.getJSONArray("Epabx");
                for (int j = 0; i < epabxArray.length(); j++){
                    JSONObject jobE = epabxArray.getJSONObject(j);
                    epabx.add(jobE.getString(""+j));
                }

                //This i for Category_Fax array
                ArrayList<String> category_Fax = new ArrayList<>();
                JSONArray category_FaxJson = job.getJSONArray("Category_Fax");
                for (int j = 0; i < category_FaxJson.length(); j++){
                    JSONObject jobE = category_FaxJson.getJSONObject(j);
                    category_Fax.add(jobE.getString(""+j));

                ArrayList<Persons> personsList = new ArrayList<>();
                JSONArray personsArray = job.getJSONArray("Persons");
                for (int j = 0; i < personsArray.length(); j++){
                    JSONObject jobIn = personsArray.getJSONObject(j);

                    int Person_ID = jobIn.getInt("Person_ID");
                    String Name = jobIn.getString("Name");
                    String Designation = jobIn.getString("Designation");
                    String Office_Phone = jobIn.getString("Office_Phone");

                    String VOIP = jobIn.getString("VOIP");
                    String Address = jobIn.getString("Address");

                    //this is for Fax array
                    ArrayList<String>Fax = new ArrayList<>();
                    JSONArray fax = jobIn.getJSONArray("Fax");
                    for (int k=0; k < fax.length(); k++)

                        JSONObject jobI = fax.getJSONObject(k);
                        Fax.add(jobI.getString(""+k));
                    }
                    String Ext = jobIn.getString("Ext");

                    personsList.add(new Persons(Person_ID, Name, Designation, Office_Phone, Residence_Phone,
                            VOIP, Address, Fax, Ext));
                }

                //here your Category[] value store in categoryArrayList
                categoryList.add(new CategoryList(categoryId, categoryName, emailArray, epabx, category_Fax, personsList));
            }

            if (categoryList != null)
            {
                Log.i("categoryList size = ", ""+categoryArray.length());
            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
