I am relatively new to Java and am using it with VS Code. I have downloaded the JAR file for GSON and I would like to use it in order to parse through a JSON structured string and assign it to string variables.

The only issue I am having is actually using the GSON api with the java class that reads through the JSON string and parses it. After downloading the JAR file, how do I import it into my java class that contains the readString method?

I am using VS Code as the IDE and am unable to find any documentation for VS Code

Any advice would be amazing!

If you're using an IDE such as NetBeans or Eclipse, then check out the IDE-specific documentation on how to include jar files in your code's "build path" – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jan 26 '18 at 02:01
Consider changing to a more Java-centric IDE, such as Eclipse. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jan 26 '18 at 02:19
