Parsing JSON Array within JSON Object

Question

I have some JSON with the following structure:

{\"source\":[
           {\"name\":\"john\",\"age\":20},
           {\"name\":\"michael\",\"age\":25},
                


        

Answer 1

mainJSON.getJSONArray("source") returns a JSONArray, hence you can remove the new JSONArray.

The JSONArray contructor with an object parameter expects it to be a Collection or Array (not JSONArray)

Try this:

JSONArray jsonMainArr = mainJSON.getJSONArray("source");
