JSONObject typically uses HashMap internally to store the data. So, you can use it as Map in your code.

Example,

JSONObject obj = JSONObject.fromObject(strRepresentation);
Iterator i = obj.entrySet().iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
   Map.Entry e = (Map.Entry)i.next();
   System.out.println("Key: " + e.getKey());
   System.out.println("Value: " + e.getValue());
}
