How to convert a Array (JSON Array) to Map?

Question

My script returns me a Array (JSON Array) as follows :

[{redirectCount=0, encodedBodySize=60962, unloadEventEnd=0, responseEnd=1601.699999999255, domainLookupEnd

for not so complicated jsons, you can try doing it manually...

first remove { and [

jsontext = jsontext.replaceAll ("[\\[\\]{}]", "");

then split the json array using the , separator

String[] items = jsontext.split(",");

then for each item, split using the = separator, and then populate into your array

Map<String, String> array;

for (String s: items){

    String[] item = s.split("=");
    if(item.length == 2){
        array.put(item[0].trim(), item[1].trim());
    }else{
        System.out.println("Error with: "+ s);
    }
}

if you want ? as your map array, then you have to do your own conversion from String to Int, etc...

for more complicated jsons (arrays within arrays, etc), you may have to resolve and save the inner arrays first, then resolve the outer arrays.
