Getting JSON values

I personally love GSON its better if you can grasp JSON concepts I also use okhhtp to connect to gson

Code (Text):

private static OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
public static void main(String[] args){
for(String str:getUserData("CaptainSparklez")){
System.out.println(str);
}
}
   public static String getJSON(String url) throws IOException {
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .build();

        Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
        return response.body().string();
    }
    public static String[] getUserData(String username){
     String json = null;
        try{
            json = getJSON("https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/"+username);
        } catch(IOException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
        }
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        TwitchTV twitchAPI = gson.fromJson(json, TwitchTV.class);
        return new String[]{
            "Bio: " + twitchAPI.getBio(),
            "Name: " + twitchAPI.getName()

        };
    }

I just found this scrap code i did last year making a Twitch bot and getting Information about a streamer. I cant find the other classes but check in the Internet they may have Information regarding this

 

I prefer to use the included gson library.

JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonObject o = parser.parse("{\"a\": \"A\"}").getAsJsonObject();

 

You can do the exact same thing with json-simple

Code (Text):

JSONObject o = (JSONObject) new JSONParser().parse("{\"a\": \"A\"}");
System.out.println("a : " + ((String)o.get("a")) + " :)");

Is not included in the spigot server jar?

 

Pretty sure Json-Simple is not included. Also, JSONObject.toJSONString() is better than casting.

 

It is.

 

Well, that's a surprise.

 

It is

Depends. If you cast (JSONObject) to the Object JSONObject#get() returns, then you can use that method on it. But that's just more work than directly calling get() and casting it to a String, you'd have to do casting either way as the get method returns Object.
