Answer 1

Pasting my code here, this should help. It shows the package which can be used.

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class extractingJSON {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String jsonStr = "{\"name\":\"SK\",\"arr\":{\"a\":\"1\",\"b\":\"2\"}}";
        JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
        String name = jsonObj.getString("name");
        System.out.println(name);

        String first = jsonObj.getJSONObject("arr").getString("a");
        System.out.println(first);

    }

}
