How do I parse JSON objects from a JSONArray?

Question

I have a very large JSON file in the following format:

[{\"fullname\": \"name1\", \"id\": \"123\"}, {\"fullname\": \"name2\", \"id\": \"245\"}, {\"fullname\": \

Your json is a JSONArray, so when you are parsing it, you need to parse it as a JSONArray.

        JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
        JSONArray a = (JSONArray) jsonParser.parse(new FileReader(src));
        for (Object o : a) {
            // access your object here. 
        }
