Answer 1

What you receive is a series of characters from the InputStream that you append to a StringBuffer and convert to String at the end - so the result of String is ok :)

What you want is to post-process this String via org.json.* classes like

String page = new Communicator().executeHttpGet("Some URL");
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(page);

and then work on jsonObject. As the data you receive is an array, you can actually say

String page = new Communicator().executeHttpGet("Some URL");
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(page);
for (int i = 0 ; i < jsonArray.length(); i++ ) {
  JSONObject entry = jsonArray.get(i);
  // now get the data from each entry
}
