Iterate Json data from web service in correct order

问题

I have a response coming from a web service, data is in JSON form.

JSONObject event:-

{
  "15:00":{"type":1,"status":null,"appointment_id":null}, 
  "16:00":{"type":1,"status":null,"appointment_id":null},
  "17:00":{"type":1,"status":null,"appointment_id":null},
  "18:00":{"type":1,"status":"1","appointment_id":5}
}

I don't know the key values, they are random. So when i iterate the data using iterator by fetching keys and hasNext(). It returns the data but changes the order of coming data.

Iterator AppoinmentIter = event.keys();
while(AppoinmentIter.hasNext()){   
        String appointmentTime = (String)AppoinmentIter.next();   
        JSONObject appointmentDetails = event.getJSONObject(appointmentTime);
 }

I want the data in exact order in which it is coming. I checked this link, it suggests to use LinkedHashMap. But here they are inserting the value by keys. And i don't know the keys in my data. So how can i iterate the data in correct order. Please help..

Vikas, as far as i understood your problem i managed to retrieve json object in expected format, hope this will help you. Enjoy!!

   String s = "{ \"15:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":null,\"appointment_id\":null},\"16:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":null,\"appointment_id\":null},\"17:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":null,\"appointment_id\":null},\"18:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":\"1\",\"appointment_id\":5}}";
    try {
        JSONObject jobj = new JSONObject(s);
        Iterator iter = jobj.keys();
        while(iter.hasNext()){   
            String appointmentTime = String.valueOf(iter.next());
            aRRaY.add(appointmentTime);

     }
      Collections.sort(aRRaY); 
      for(String key : aRRaY){
          JSONObject appointmentDetails = jobj.getJSONObject(key);
          System.out.println(key +" ----- "+appointmentDetails);
      }

    }
    catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

That's not how JSON works. It assumes order doesn't matter unless you have an array. If you want order to matter, you're using the wrong format- you need yo use an array of times->values rather than just times->value.

For your particular application, you can get the set of keys, then sort them with a custom comparator that uses the value parsed as a time to order them. But the built in libraries won't do it for you, because you aren't using JSON as its designed.

I don't know the implementation you have done, and what 3pp you involved. But anyway, try below codes, you would get what you want.

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;

public class Test {

    private static final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String json = "{"
                + "\"15:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":null,\"appointment_id\":null}, "
                + "\"16:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":null,\"appointment_id\":null},"
                + "\"17:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":null,\"appointment_id\":null},"
                + "\"18:00\":{\"type\":1,\"status\":\"1\",\"appointment_id\":5}"
            + "}";
        LinkedHashMap<String, LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>> fromJSON = fromJSON(
            json, LinkedHashMap.class);
        for (Entry<String, LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>> entry : fromJSON
            .entrySet()) {
            System.out.print(entry.getKey());
            System.out
                .println(" || status = " + entry.getValue().get("status"));
        }
    }

    public static <T> T fromJSON(String input, Class<T> clazz) {
        try {
            return mapper.readValue(input != null ? input : "null", clazz);
        } catch (JsonParseException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        } catch (JsonMappingException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }

}
