Actually, this JSON is already incorrect. The last comma ',' is unnecessary.. — Mikheil Zhghenti, Sep 22 '20 at 08:59

To parse JSON use this code

In Java

public String loadJSONFromAsset() {
    String json = null;
    try {
        InputStream is = getActivity().getAssets().open("Place.json"); // your file name 
        int size = is.available();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
        is.read(buffer);
        is.close();
        json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
    return json;
}

Usage:

String jsonString = loadJSONFromAsset();
if(jsonString != null){
    try {
       JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonString);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

get it in fragments

You can pass data to Fragment via Intent or use ViewModel to share data between Activity and Fragment

Using Intent:

// In Activitry 
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("dataKey", "Shared String");
MyFragment fragment = new MyFragment();
fragment.setArguments(bundle);

// In Fragment 
 @Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    String sharedString = getArguments().getString("dataKey");    
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
}

Using ViewModel:

Check this official documentation. Also can check this Medium Blog

You can pass data via `Intent` in Fragment or can use `ViewModel` to share data between `Activity` and `Fragment` — Abu Yousuf, Sep 22 '20 at 09:01
