How to convert JSON to Java object?

Question

I'm new to JSON and I have trouble converting JSON to Java object. Here is the JSON I want to convert.

{ 
  "John" : {
    "fullname"  : "John Wick",
    "address"   : "New York",
    "status"    : "Active",
    "grades" : {
        "physics"   : 80,
        "calculus"  : 70,
        "biology"   : 85
      }
  },
  "Indie" : {
    "fullname"  : "Indiana Jones",
    "address"   : "Los Angeles",
    "status"    : "On Leave",
    "grades" : {
        "physics"   : 75,
        "calculus"  : 95,
        "biology"   : 65
      }
  },
  "Gerard" : {
    "fullname"  : "Gerard Butler",
    "address"   : "San Fransisco",
    "status"    : "Non Active",
    "grades" : {
        "physics"   : 0,
        "calculus"  : 0,
        "biology"   : 0
      }
  }
}

This the class that I have made. I might be wrong but is it okay to use the HashMap to map the grades key in the JSON?

public class Student {
    private long id;
    private String name;
    private String address;
    private String status;
    private HashMap<String, Integer> score;


    public Siswa(String name, String address, String status, HashMap<String, Integer> score) {
        this.score = score;
        this.name = name;
        this.address = address;
        this.status = status;
    }

    public Student(int id, String name, String address) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.address = address;
    }

    public long getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }
    public void setAddress(String address) {
        this.address = address;
    }
    public String getAddress() {
        return this.address;
    }
    public void setStatus(String status) {
        this.status = status;
    }
    public String getStatus() {
        return this.status;
    }

    public HashMap<String, Integer> getScore() {
        return score;
    }
    public void setNilai(HashMap<String, Integer> score) {
        this.score = score;
    }

}

class Score {
    private int id_score;
    private int phyGrade;
    private int calGrade;
    private int bioGrade;

    public Nilai(int id_score, int phyGrade, int calGrade, int bioGrade) {
        this.id_score = id_score;
        this.phyGrade = phyGrade;
        this.calGrade = calGrade;
        this.bioGrade = bioGrade;
    }

    public int getId_score() {
        return id_score;
    }

    public void setId_nilai(int id_nilai) {
        this.id_score = id_score;
    }
    public void setPhyGrade(int phy) {
        this.phyGrade = phy;
    }
    public int getPhyGrade() {
        return this.phyGrade;
    }
    public void setCalGrade(int cal) {
        this.calGrade = cal;
    }
    public int getCalGrade() {
        return this.calGrade;
    }
    public void setBioGrade(int bio) {
        this.bioGrade = bio;
    }
    public int getBioGrade() {
        return this.bioGrade;
    }
}

I want to retrieve each key:value and convert them to Java object with the class I have made. Any idea how to resolve this?

You can use this http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/ for JSON to JAVA class conversion — Erselan Khan, Jul 18 '20 at 04:04
You can use a Map interface to store the student grades. That way, it doesn't matter whether you use a HashMap, or any other Map implementation. — Gilbert Le Blanc, Jul 18 '20 at 12:05

user ObjectMapper

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Map<String,Object> map = mapper.readValue(json, Map.class);

Is this using Jackson? I've seen it before but cannot recall. Thanks anyway – Dhio Putro Jul 18 '20 at 15:24

Using the org.json library, this is how you retrieve your objects. Just use the key iterator `JSONObject.keys()' to iterate through and retrieve all keys and pass the retrieval to your constructor.

     String jsonReturn = "{ \n" +
                "  \"John\" : {\n" +
                "    \"fullname\"  : \"John Wick\",\n" +
                "    \"address\"   : \"New York\",\n" +
                "    \"status\"    : \"Active\",\n" +
                "    \"grades\" : {\n" +
                "        \"physics\"   : 80,\n" +
                "        \"calculus\"  : 70,\n" +
                "        \"biology\"   : 85\n" +
                "      }\n" +
                "  },\n" +
                "  \"Indie\" : {\n" +
                "    \"fullname\"  : \"Indiana Jones\",\n" +
                "    \"address\"   : \"Los Angeles\",\n" +
                "    \"status\"    : \"On Leave\",\n" +
                "    \"grades\" : {\n" +
                "        \"physics\"   : 75,\n" +
                "        \"calculus\"  : 95,\n" +
                "        \"biology\"   : 65\n" +
                "      }\n" +
                "  },\n" +
                "  \"Gerard\" : {\n" +
                "    \"fullname\"  : \"Gerard Butler\",\n" +
                "    \"address\"   : \"San Fransisco\",\n" +
                "    \"status\"    : \"Non Active\",\n" +
                "    \"grades\" : {\n" +
                "        \"physics\"   : 0,\n" +
                "        \"calculus\"  : 0,\n" +
                "        \"biology\"   : 0\n" +
                "      }\n" +
                "  }\n" +
                "} ";



        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonReturn);
        
        System.out.println(jsonObject.keySet());
        
        JSONObject John = (JSONObject) jsonObject.get("John");
        
        System.out.println("JSON OBJECT: " + John);
        System.out.println("Johns address: " + John.get("address"));
        System.out.println("Johns grades: " + John.get("grades"));

JSON objects are quite simple when you get your head around iterating.

Output of the code will be:

[Indie, Gerard, John]

JSON OBJECT: {"address":"New York","fullname":"John Wick","grades": 
"biology":85,"physics":80,"calculus":70},
"status":"Active"}

 Johns address: New York

 Johns grades: {"biology":85,"physics":80,"calculus":70}

really helpful man, thanks a lot. Getting to work on that. – Dhio Putro Jul 19 '20 at 16:15 — Dhio Putro, Jul 19 '20 at 16:15
