please anyone help me to solve this.

Can you clarify what exactly you want to do? All you want to do is make that string into json object? — Kartik_Koro, Jul 14 '14 at 09:00

Create objects, which contain the data you posted. Like this:

public class MyData {
  private String ticket;
  private long saleID;
  // ...
  private List<MyProduct> products;
  // constructor, getters and setters...
}

public class MyProduct {
  private int menuItemId;
  private int qty;
  // ...
}

when you receive the JSON-Data-String above, you can parse the data into your object with the help of GSON:

import com.google.gson.Gson;

final String jsonDataString = receive();
final MyData myData = new Gson().fromJson(jsonDataString, MyData.class);

when you collected data in your object and want to send the JSON-Data-String you can also use GSON:

final MyData myData = collectData();
final String jsonDataString = new Gson().toJson(myData);
send(jsonDataString);

i have to parse this to service. am not get this data from service. — user3789180, Jul 14 '14 at 09:26
Sorry, I don't understand you. If you are receiving the data you pasted above, do step 1 and 2, if you have to create the data you pasted above, do step 1 and 3. — nyx, Jul 14 '14 at 09:29

I would Suggest you to create a setter and getter class having same variable name as in json string you have mentioned above. Also use association(inheritance) in that class. In json content, under each opening and closing curly braces all values resembles a field of java class.

Once the whole setter and getter class is created, set value to each variables using setters. Then create an Object of JSONObject class like.

public class JsonSimpleExample {
 public static void main(String[] args) {

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("name", "Sample");
obj.put("age", new Integer(100));

JSONArray list = new JSONArray();
list.add("msg 1");
list.add("msg 2");
list.add("msg 3");

obj.put("messages", list);

try {

    FileWriter file = new FileWriter("c:\\test.json");
    file.write(obj.toJSONString());
    file.flush();
    file.close();

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

System.out.print(obj);

 }

}
