How to convert String to JsonObject

Question

I am using a httprequest to get Json from a web into a string.

It is probably quite simple, but I cannot seem to convert this string to a javax.js

Answer 1

Since the above reviewer didn't like my edits, here is something you can copy and paste into your own code:

private static JsonObject jsonFromString(String jsonObjectStr) {

    JsonReader jsonReader = Json.createReader(new StringReader(jsonObjectStr));
    JsonObject object = jsonReader.readObject();
    jsonReader.close();

    return object;
}

Answer 2

JsonReader jsonReader = Json.createReader(new StringReader("{}"));
JsonObject object = jsonReader.readObject();
jsonReader.close();

See docs and examples.
