I am trying to parse it into JSON array object , when I searched for it in Google I found the following solution:

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray("path_to_file_to_parse");

but when I wrote it inside my code I got an error. Is there another way to make it?

I am using json-simple version 1.1

  • What error did you get? Commented Jan 17, 2018 at 15:05
  • JSONArray() in JSONArray cannot be applied to (java.lang.String) Commented Jan 17, 2018 at 15:06
  • thanks... I was pretty clear i added code and explanation ... but thanks for down voting my question I will be glad if you can undo your voting. Commented Jan 17, 2018 at 15:11

Have you looked at Jackson Tree Model?

//first, you create a mapper object
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

//then you create a JsonNode instance representing your JSON root structure
//you will need to define json yourself to run the code.
JsonNode root = null;
try {
    root = mapper.readTree(json);
} catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println("Some Error");
}

//here you get the list of your session nodes
JsonNode list = root.path("LiveSessionDataCollection");

//then you can iterate through them and get any inner value
for (JsonNode session : list) {
    //for example, you can get the create date or live session id.
    System.out.println(session.path("CreateDate"));
    System.out.println(session.path("LiveSessionId"));
}

I may not be understanding your question fully but I think this is what you're after.
