retrieve data from a multidimensional JSON map in JAVA

Question

I am Developing an application using Spring MVC and JSP, what am trying to do is fetch some data from a URL, the URL's data is in JSON encoded multidimensional map.

For Example:

{"RT":"32",
 "HED":{
     "COMPINF":{
          "CP":"ISIN_CODE|SECTOR|LANGUAGE_CODE"}}}

I want to parse this code in the same way it came to me, I was trying to use a multidimensional hashmap but can't realy figure out a way.

What would be the best way to parse this data ?

Standard `JSON` lib or `Gson`, you can use either to parse the JSON. Simple & best! — Rahul, Apr 08 '13 at 09:24
Do you have fixed structure for JSON data you receive ? or is this standard JSON structure? — ajduke, Apr 08 '13 at 09:25
@ajduke well I don't believe i do, the data might come in any form as per its availability — engma, Apr 08 '13 at 09:35
if it is unstructured, then i don't think so, any JSON library will help you. so,i recommend you to, standardized JSON data which is passed — ajduke, Apr 08 '13 at 10:20

You'll want to use a JSON parser such as Google Gson (https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/)

well I checked this question before but will it work with multidimensional maps ? – engma Apr 08 '13 at 09:33
as long as what is being passed in is valid JSON, it will go it will be able to go to any depth. Meaning it will look like a multidimensional map once it is parsed – Jayanth Madheswaran Apr 08 '13 at 17:57
