A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at 1 [character 2 line 1] with '{' error

Question

String JSON = \"http://www.json-generator.com/j/cglqaRcMSW?indent=4\";

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(JSON);
JSONObject getSth = jsonObject.getJSONObject(\"         


        

Answer 1

I had the same, there was an empty new line character at the beginning. That solved it:

int i = result.indexOf("{");
result = result.substring(i);
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(result.trim()); 
System.out.println(json.toString(4));
