org.json.simple cannot be resolved

Question

I'm a total java newbie and I have this problem. I try to decode Json and in order to do that I want to import these packages:

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

"The import cannot be resolved"... are these packages unavailable anymore or do I have to do something else in order to make them work?

Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

Probably your simple json.jar file isn't in your classpath.

Answer 2

I was facing same issue in my Spring Integration project. I added below JSON dependencies in pom.xml file. It works for me.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.json</groupId>
  <artifactId>json</artifactId>
  <version>20090211</version>
</dependency>
