Answer 1

same but with jsonobject:

public static JSONObject getQueryParams2(String url) {
    JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
    try {
        String[] urlParts = url.split("\\?");
        JSONArray array = new  JSONArray();
        if (urlParts.length > 1) {
            String query = urlParts[1];
            for (String param : query.split("&")) {
                String[] pair = param.split("=");
                String key = URLDecoder.decode(pair[0], "UTF-8");
                String value = "";
                if (pair.length > 1) {
                    value = URLDecoder.decode(pair[1], "UTF-8");
                    if(json.has(key)) {
                        array = json.getJSONArray(key);
                        array.put(value);
                        json.put(key, array);
                        array = new JSONArray();
                    } else {
                        array.put(value);
                        json.put(key, array);
                        array = new JSONArray();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return json;
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        throw new AssertionError(ex);
    }
}
