org.json.simple.JSONObject cannot be cast to org.json.JSONObject

Question

When I run the following code...

  JSONObject jsonObject = null;
  JSONParser parser=new JSONParser(); // this needs the \"json-simple\" library

  try 
  {
         


        

Answer 1

You have imported the wrong class. Change

import org.json.JSONObject;

to

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
