I am using java to call a url that returns a JSON object:

url = new URL(\"my URl\");
urlInputStream = url.openConnection().getInputStream();

For those that pointed out the fact that you can't use the toString method of InputStream like this see https://stackoverflow.com/a/5445161/1304830 :

My correct answer would be then :

import org.json.JSONObject;

public static String convertStreamToString(java.io.InputStream is) {
    java.util.Scanner s = new java.util.Scanner(is).useDelimiter("\\A");
    return s.hasNext() ? s.next() : "";
}

...

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(convertStreamToString(url.openStream());
