parse string array from JSON

Question

i have this JSON object:

{"error":null,
 "result":[{"id":"1234567890",
            "count":1,
            "recipients":
            ["u3848",
               "u8958",
               "u7477474"
            ],
            "dateCreated":"2012-06-13T09:13:45.989Z"
           }]
 }

and I'm trying to find a way to correctly parse the recipients array into a String[] object.

is there an easy way to do this?

EDIT:

found this answer that has all the things needed for result: Sending and Parsing JSON Objects

Which Json(Java) library are you using?

I'm using the org.json.JSONObject library

the way to do what I wanted was this:

JSONArray temp = jsonObject.getJSONArray("name");
int length = temp.length();
if (length > 0) {
    String [] recipients = new String [length];
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        recipients[i] = temp.getString(i);
    }
}

Where is that "name" attribute coming from? You don't have that anywhere in your original post.

the name attribute needs to be predefined since JSON is a key/value store.

Right. (I was wondering because you replied to your own question, where the key was not there.) Should be "recipients" instead of "name" therefore.

You can try to use xstream with json serializer. Take a look this link

I always suggest my favorite library json-lib to handle JSON stuffs.

You can use JSONArray to convert to Object[], although it's not String[], you can still use it because every Object has toString() method.

String sYourJsonString = "['u3848', 'u8958', 'u7477474']";
Object[] arrayReceipients = JSONArray.toArray (JSONArray.fromObject(sYourJsonString));
System.out.println (arrayReceipients [0]); // u3848
