How to create a JSONObject from String in Kotlin?

Question

I need to convert a string {\"name\":\"test name\", \"age\":25} to a JSONObject

Answer 1

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question but it sounds like you are already using org.json which begs the question about why

val answer = JSONObject("""{"name":"test name", "age":25}""") 

wouldn't be the best way to do it? What was wrong with the built in functionality of JSONObject?

Answer 2

val rootObject= JSONObject() rootObject.put("name","test name") rootObject.put("age","25")
