I am trying to parse a json file in java. However I keep receiving an error. This is the file I am trying to parse:
[{
"name": "John Smith",
"totalSales": 250,
"salesPeriod": 10,
"experienceMultiplier": 0.5
},
{
"name": "David Prowless",
"totalSales": 250,
"salesPeriod": 10,
"experienceMultiplier": 0.5
}
]
This is what I have tried:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
try {
Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader("data.json"));
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) obj;
String name = (String) jsonObject.get("name");
System.out.println(name);
String totalSales = (String) jsonObject.get("totalSales");
System.out.println(totalSales);
String salesPeriod = (String) jsonObject.get("salesPeriod");
System.out.println(salesPeriod);
String exp = (String) jsonObject.get("exp");
System.out.println(exp);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
This is the error I receive:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: org.json.simple.JSONArray cannot be cast to org.json.simple.JSONObject
at mentormate.json.MentormateJson.main(MentormateJson.java:23)
Java Result: 1
I apologize if this is a silly question with a simple solution. I am new to json.
EDIT:
I have decided to go along with the code below. However, I cannot set the for each loop right to iterate through object in the json file.
public static void main(String[] args) {
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
try {
Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader("data.json"));
JSONArray jsonObjects = (JSONArray) obj;
for ( JSONObject jsonObject : jsonObjects) {
String name = (String) jsonObject.get("name");
System.out.println(name);
String totalSales = (String) jsonObject.get("totalSales");
System.out.println(totalSales);
String salesPeriod = (String) jsonObject.get("salesPeriod");
System.out.println(salesPeriod);
String exp = (String) jsonObject.get("exp");
System.out.println(exp);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
FINAL EDIT (PROBLEM SOLVED):
public static void main(String[] args) {
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
try {
Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader("data.json"));
JSONArray jsonObjects = (JSONArray) obj;
for (Object o : jsonObjects) {
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) o;
String name = (String) jsonObject.get("name");
System.out.println(name);
Long totalSales = (Long) jsonObject.get("totalSales");
System.out.println(totalSales);
Long salesPeriod = (Long) jsonObject.get("salesPeriod");
System.out.println(salesPeriod);
Double exp = (Double) jsonObject.get("experienceMultiplier");
System.out.println(exp);
System.out.println();
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Please try this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
try {
Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader("data.json"));
JSONArray jsonObjects = (JSONArray) obj;
for (Object o : jsonObjects) {
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) o;
String name = (String) jsonObject.get("name");
System.out.println(name);
Long totalSales = (Long)jsonObject.get("totalSales");
System.out.println(totalSales);
String salesPeriod = (String) jsonObject.get("salesPeriod");
System.out.println(salesPeriod);
String exp = (String) jsonObject.get("exp");
System.out.println(exp);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
