How to maintain the order of a JSONObject

Question

I am using a JSONObject in order to remove a certin attribute I don\'t need in a JSON String:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
jsonObject.         


        

Answer 1

I accomplished it by doing a:

JSONObject(json).put(key, ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(ObjectMapper().readValue(string, whatever::class)))

So essentially I deserialize a string to an ordered class, then I serialize it again. But then I also had to format that string afterwards to remove escapes.

.replace("\\\"", "\"").replace("\"{", "{").replace("}\"", "}")

You may also have to replace null items as well if you don't want nulls.
