How to Parse JASON response

[Shweta Machhe]

Hi ,


I want to translate my english string to french. so i am using https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/ API.
It works as follows

https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=YOUR KEY&q=TEXT TO TRANSLATE&source=SOURCE LANGUAGE CODE&target=TARGET LANGUAGE CODE

it returns me a JASON object.
{
"data": {
"translations": [
{
"translatedText": "bonjour"
}
]
}
}


How should i parse it, to access translated sting in my java code?

On json.org you'll find numerous Java libraries for handling JSON data.

JSON, not JASON,

Hi Shweta,

To parse JSON in Java you'll need to import json-lib-2.2.2-jdk15.jar into your project.
Once you have done that all you need to do is

JSONValue.parse(s); 

where s is the string representing the returned JSON string.
This will give you an Object. Convert it into JSONArray

JSONArray array = (JSONArray)obj

and get the element you need, for instance

array.get(1);

Hope this helps.

Hi!
An alternative may be Jackson, a JSON parser which performs well and is easy to work with: http://jackson.codehaus.org/
Best wishes!
