how can nested json be parsed?

I had similar issue yesterday, if you are using gson to parse data, you can create a model and do getter and setters. Have a look this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42652448/parsing-nested-json-using-gson — chirag90, Mar 08 '17 at 09:35

you are using JSON object in JSON object try this

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
JSONObject jsonObject2=jsonObject.getJSONObject("studentDetails");

and try to get studentDetails from jsonObject2 and like this for "stdCategory"

You need to parse the nested object like

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
JSONObject studentDetail = jsonObject.getJSONObject("studentDetails");

and then you can get the values like

String.valueOf(studentDetail.get("StdID"));

Similarly you can access the other nested JSON object like above

In case your nested JSON object is an array you need to make use of getJSONArray function

JSONArray array1 = jsonObject.getJSONArray("keyAttribute");

try this:

 try{
    JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonString);  //your JSON String
    JSONObject studentDetails = json.getJSONObject("studentDetails");
    String StdID = String.valueOf(studentDetails.getString("StdID"));
    String GUARDIAN_PHONE_NO = String.valueOf( studentDetails.getString("GUARDIAN_PHONE_NO"));
    //rest of the strings
     }
     catch (JSONException e){
           e.printStackTrace();
    }

Try this,

                            studentInformation = new StudentInformation();

                            studentInformation.StdID = String.valueOf(jsonObject.get("StdID"));
                            studentInformation.Name = jsonObject.getString("NAME");

See my answer How to use Google/GSON to convert a JSON string into Java POJO? it may help you to create POJO from response you not need to get value by key manualy.

Gson gson = new Gson();
POJOClass pojo = gson.fromJson(jsonObject.toString(), new TypeToken<POJOClass>() {}.getType());

Yes, You can parse nested json object.

if (!exists) {
        keys = json.keys();
        while (keys.hasNext()) {
            nextKeys = (String) keys.next();
            try {

                if (json.get(nextKeys) instanceof JSONObject) {

                    if (exists == false) {
                        getKey(json.getJSONObject(nextKeys), key);
                    }

                } else if (json.get(nextKeys) instanceof JSONArray) {
                    JSONArray jsonarray = json.getJSONArray(nextKeys);
                    for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
                        String jsonarrayString = jsonarray.get(i).toString();
                        JSONObject innerJSOn = new JSONObject(jsonarrayString);

                        if (exists == false) {
                            getKey(innerJSOn, key);
                        }

                    }

                }

            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO: handle exception
            }

        }
