Answer 1

Try reading this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/json-1973242.html, you will find several class to work with json.

I guess that retrieving the json from a local file, inner resource in the jar, or in another location specificable by an URL and the just read it with a JsonReader get the job dones.

This is a snipped from the reference site posted before.

 URL url = new URL("https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=java&type=post");
 try (InputStream is = url.openStream();
      JsonReader rdr = Json.createReader(is)) {

      JsonObject obj = rdr.readObject();
      // from this line forward you got what you want :D

     }
 }

Hope it helps!
