JSON in Java [package org.json]
===============================
[](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json)
JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format.
See http://www.JSON.org/
The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java.
It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP
headers, Cookies, and CDL.
This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages
in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until
then, choose carefully.
The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good,
not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different
package.
The package compiles on Java 1.6-1.8.
**JSONObject.java**: The `JSONObject` can parse text from a `String` or a `JSONTokener`
to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its
contents, and for producing a JSON compliant object serialization.
**JSONArray.java**: The `JSONArray` can parse text from a String or a `JSONTokener`
to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating
its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant array serialization.
**JSONTokener.java**: The `JSONTokener` breaks a text into a sequence of individual
tokens. It can be constructed from a `String`, `Reader`, or `InputStream`.
**JSONException.java**: The `JSONException` is the standard exception type thrown
by this package.
**JSONPointer.java**: Implementation of
[JSON Pointer (RFC 6901)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901). Supports
JSON Pointers both in the form of string representation and URI fragment
representation.
**JSONString.java**: The `JSONString` interface requires a `toJSONString` method,
allowing an object to provide its own serialization.
**JSONStringer.java**: The `JSONStringer` provides a convenient facility for
building JSON strings.
**JSONWriter.java**: The `JSONWriter` provides a convenient facility for building
JSON text through a writer.
**CDL.java**: `CDL` provides support for converting between JSON and comma
delimited lists.
**Cookie.java**: `Cookie` provides support for converting between JSON and cookies.
**CookieList.java**: `CookieList` provides support for converting between JSON and
cookie lists.
**HTTP.java**: `HTTP` provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers.
**HTTPTokener.java**: `HTTPTokener` extends `JSONTokener` for parsing HTTP headers.
**XML.java**: `XML` provides support for converting between JSON and XML.
**JSONML.java**: `JSONML` provides support for converting between JSONML and XML.
**XMLTokener.java**: `XMLTokener` extends `JSONTokener` for parsing XML text.
Unit tests are maintained in a separate project. Contributing developers can test
JSON-java pull requests with the code in this project:

Numeric types in this package comply with
[ECMA-404: The JSON Data Interchange Format](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf) and
[RFC 7159: The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-6).
This package fully supports `Integer`, `Long`, and `Double` Java types. Partial support
for `BigInteger` and `BigDecimal` values in `JSONObject` and `JSONArray` objects is provided
in the form of `get()`, `opt()`, and `put()` API methods.
Although 1.6 compatibility is currently supported, it is not a project goal and may be
removed in some future release.
In compliance with RFC7159 page 10 section 9, the parser is more lax with what is valid
JSON than the Generator. For Example, the tab character (U+0009) is allowed when reading
JSON Text strings, but when output by the Generator, tab is properly converted to \t in
the string. Other instances may occur where reading invalid JSON text does not cause an
error to be generated. Malformed JSON Texts such as missing end " (quote) on strings or
invalid number formats (1.2e6.3) will cause errors as such documents can not be read
reliably.
