Working with JSON without Maven

Question

I am new at web programming study, specifically in Java and a issue came around during the development of an application I'm working on.

I have a Java Web Application(Spring MVC) that i have to consume some data (JSON) from the server in order to construct a chart.

The thing is that all the tutorials that i've seen on the internet mentioned that i have to use Maven dependencies to work with JSON, which my project doesn't support.

Can anyone point me a way to solve this problem without using Maven?

Thanks in advance.

Maven is just a dependency management solution. Actually it is more than that but in your context it is. So all you need to do is downloading necessary jars to lib directory and use them. Nothing else.
