Read JSON Data from File

---

In this tutorials we are going to see how to read json data from file using JSONSimple jar.

Create project called JSONExample.
Create package called com.javatutorialscorner.json 
Create java class called JSONExample under com.javatutorialscorner.json.

 JSONExample.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.json;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Iterator;

import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;
import org.json.simple.parser.ParseException;

public class JSONExample {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

		JSONParser jsonParser = null;

		try {
			jsonParser = new JSONParser();
			JSONObject json = (JSONObject) jsonParser.parse(new FileReader(
					"C:\\jtc\\javatutorialscorner.json"));

			String name = (String) json.get("name");
			System.out.println("Name : " + name);

			JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) json.get("Topics");
			System.out.println("JSON Array : " + jsonArray.toString());

			Iterator<String> iterator = jsonArray.iterator();

			while (iterator.hasNext()) {
				System.out.println("JSON Array String : " + iterator.next());
			}
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (ParseException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}

}
