Using gson and EntityUtils:

HttpEntity responseEntity = response.getEntity();

try {
    if (responseEntity != null) {
        String responseString = EntityUtils.toString(responseEntity);
        JsonObject jsonResp = new Gson().fromJson(responseString, JsonObject.class); // String to JSONObject

    if (jsonResp.has("property"))
        System.out.println(jsonResp.get("property").toString().replace("\"", ""))); // toString returns quoted values!

} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
