creating Hashmap from a JSON String

Solution 1
Parse the JSONObject and create HashMap
public static void jsonToMap(String t) throws JSONException {
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(t);
Iterator<?> keys = jObject.keys();
while( keys.hasNext() ){
String key = (String)keys.next();
String value = jObject.getString(key);
map.put(key, value);
}
System.out.println("json : "+jObject);
System.out.println("map : "+map);
}
Tested output:
json : {"phonetype":"N95","cat":"WP"}
map : {cat=WP, phonetype=N95}
Solution 2
You can use Google's Gson library to convert json to Hashmap. Try below code
String jsonString = "Your JSON string";
HashMap<String,String> map = new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, new TypeToken<HashMap<String, String>>(){}.getType());
Solution 3
public class JsonMapExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String json = "{\"phonetype\":\"N95\",\"cat\":\"WP\"}";
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
try {
//convert JSON string to Map
map = mapper.readValue(json, new TypeReference<HashMap<String, String>>() {});
System.out.println(map);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Output:
{phonetype=N95, cat=WP}

Solution 4
You could use Gson library
Type type = new TypeToken<HashMap<String, String>>() {}.getType();
new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, type);
Solution 5
This is simple operation no need to use any external library.
You can use this class instead :) (handles even lists , nested lists and json)
public class Utility {
public static Map<String, Object> jsonToMap(Object json) throws JSONException {
if(json instanceof JSONObject)
return _jsonToMap_((JSONObject)json) ;
else if (json instanceof String)
{
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject((String)json) ;
return _jsonToMap_(jsonObject) ;
}
return null ;
}
private static Map<String, Object> _jsonToMap_(JSONObject json) throws JSONException {
Map<String, Object> retMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
if(json != JSONObject.NULL) {
retMap = toMap(json);
}
return retMap;
}
private static Map<String, Object> toMap(JSONObject object) throws JSONException {
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
Iterator<String> keysItr = object.keys();
while(keysItr.hasNext()) {
String key = keysItr.next();
Object value = object.get(key);
if(value instanceof JSONArray) {
value = toList((JSONArray) value);
}
else if(value instanceof JSONObject) {
value = toMap((JSONObject) value);
}
map.put(key, value);
}
return map;
}
public static List<Object> toList(JSONArray array) throws JSONException {
List<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>();
for(int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) {
Object value = array.get(i);
if(value instanceof JSONArray) {
value = toList((JSONArray) value);
}
else if(value instanceof JSONObject) {
value = toMap((JSONObject) value);
}
list.add(value);
}
return list;
}
}
To convert your JSON string to hashmap use this :
HashMap<String, Object> hashMap = new HashMap<>(Utility.jsonToMap(response)) ;
