                e.printStackTrace();
            }

You can use a Gson object that permit to transform your object into a JSON String, and apply a conversion to a JSONObject like this :

Entity en = new Entity();
Gson gson = new Gson();
try {
    JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(gson.toJson(en));
    socket.emit("entity", obj);
} catch (JSONException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

This is how I do. To use Gson, you should add a Gradle dependency :

 compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.+'
