How to convert String to JsonObject

Question

I am using a httprequest to get Json from a web into a string.

It is probably quite simple, but I cannot seem to convert this string to a javax.json.JsonObject.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

JsonReader jsonReader = Json.createReader(new StringReader("{}")); JsonObject object = jsonReader.readObject(); jsonReader.close(); 

See docs and examples.

Answer 2

Since the above reviewer didn't like my edits, here is something you can copy and paste into your own code:

private static JsonObject jsonFromString(String jsonObjectStr) {      JsonReader jsonReader = Json.createReader(new StringReader(jsonObjectStr));     JsonObject object = jsonReader.readObject();     jsonReader.close();      return object; }
