Convert a String which is in JSON Format to a JSON Object in java

Question

I am currently trying to Automate a API using HTTP client jars. I have stored the response of API which is in JSON format into a Java String object. As next step, I would like to convert the response into a JSON Object, which would help me to easily traverse the object. Can you please let me know which API jars or additional libraries I can use to convert the String object into JSON Object.

apiOutput contains the response which is in the below format.

String apiOutput= {
    "title": "foo",
    "body": "bar",
    "userId": 1,
    "id": 101
}

I would like to convert this response into a JSON object to traverse easily.

If you mean **literally** like in your example, that's not valid java. — Federico klez Culloca, Nov 26 '18 at 16:02

Simply like this :

import org.json;

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(jsonString);

While this is correct, this question has been asked countless times on stackoverflow. Answering duplicate questions is not a good idea. – f1sh Nov 26 '18 at 16:07
f1sh all right, I will care in the future – TheWildHealer Nov 26 '18 at 16:09
@TheWildHealer Thank you. Can I use Jackson or gson for this? if yes, how can I do it with them? I could not find a way as simple as org.json to do with Jackson or GSON. – Vishal Gada Nov 26 '18 at 16:12
