Dynamically load text view using JSON objects in Android?

Question

What would be the best way to populate text views with information stored in a JSON file? Is there a way to access the data by the name of the fields?

For instance, I have this JSON file

{
    "Weapons":
    {
        "Ranged":
        [
            {
                "name": "Bow",
                "desc" : "This is a bow"
            },
            {
                "name": "Crossbow",
                "desc" : "This is a crossbow"
            }

        ]   
    }
}

Is it possible to access these object by their name and load in the description based on that name?
