Reading JSON file error

Question

I try to read JSON file with Java. The code is:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("j.txt");
    String jsonTxt = IOUtils.toString( is );

    JSONObject json = (JSONObject) JSONSerializer.toJSON( jsonTxt );

    JSONObject routes = json.getJSONObject("routes");
    JSONObject legs = routes.getJSONObject("legs");
    JSONObject distance = legs.getJSONObject("distance");
    String dist = distance.getString("text");
}

And the line JSONObject json = (JSONObject) JSONSerializer.toJSON( jsonTxt ); makes an error:

I would be grateful for solving this problem.

Answer 1

Latest version of Commons Lang (currently 3.1) has package name of org.apache.commons.lang3 instead of org.apache.commons.lang. For the later package name (as in your case), you should download 2.6 version of Commons Lang.

Answer 2

Sounds like you don't have apache commons jar file in you class path
