I am trying to load JSON from a URL, as necessary in another answer here simplest way to read json from a URL in java

However, I am trying to use the answer given by Roland and this by itself does not work. The JSON library is working and imported correctly, but I am getting the following error when trying to open the URL stream:

If anyone knows what is causing this issue any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit - Adding the original code from the link...

package so4308554;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class JsonReader {

  private static String readAll(Reader rd) throws IOException {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    int cp;
    while ((cp = rd.read()) != -1) {
      sb.append((char) cp);
    }
    return sb.toString();
  }

  public static JSONObject readJsonFromUrl(String url) throws IOException, JSONException {
    InputStream is = new URL(url).openStream();
    try {
      BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
      String jsonText = readAll(rd);
      JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonText);
      return json;
    } finally {
      is.close();
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, JSONException {
    JSONObject json = readJsonFromUrl("https://graph.facebook.com/19292868552");
    System.out.println(json.toString());
    System.out.println(json.get("id"));
  }
}

    Your problem with https, not posted code. Maybe broken cacerts or wrong custom truststore passed via -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore caused this error – user1516873 Dec 03 '15 at 12:13
  • Thanks, do you know if there is a simple fix for this or a reinstall necessary? – bd99 Dec 03 '15 at 12:56
  • I have removed the Java cacerts from within /etc/ssl/certs/java and run the update script /usr/sbin/update-ca-certificates I now get a different error: **_Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty_** – bd99 Dec 03 '15 at 13:14
  • You didn't specify what Java version you are using, what OS, it is very important. No one can reproduce this issue and answer you without this information. I suppose your java setup is broken, and i see only one sane way to fix it - download jdk from oracle.com, install it and run your program with that jdk. – user1516873 Dec 04 '15 at 09:31
