Put/get byte array value using JSONObject

Question

I tried to get my byte[] value from JSONObject using following code but I am not getting original byte[] value.

JSONAr         


        

Answer 1

When inserting a byte array into a JSONObject the toString() method is invoked.

public static void main(String... args) throws JSONException{
    JSONObject o = new JSONObject();
    byte[] b = "hello".getBytes();
    o.put("A", b);
    System.out.println(o.get("A"));
}

Example output:

[B@1bd8c6e

so you have to store it in a way that you can parse the String into the original datatype.
