JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jsonObj = jParser.getJSONFromUrl("http://www.example.com/myws/getData.html?id=12");
SONArray jsonArray= jsonObj.getJSONArray("Name of the object");
Below is the basic jason format:
{ "contacts": [ {
"id": "AP9099", "name": "Alpan Patel", "email": "alpanpatel4am@gmail.com", "address": "Valsad", "gender" : "Male",
"phone": { "mobile": "+91 XXXX XXXX XX", "home": "XX XXXXXXX", "office": "XX XXXXXX" } }, ] }
