    \"data\" : 
    { 
        \"field1\" : \"value1\", 
        \"field2\" : \"value2\"
    }
}
         


        

Answer 1

Use JSON lib E.g. http://www.json.org/java/

// Assume you have a Map in JSONObject jdata
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Iterator nameItr = jdata.keys();
Map outMap = new HashMap();
while(nameItr.hasNext()) {
    String name = nameItr.next();
    outMap.put(name, jdata.getString(name));

}
