creating Hashmap from a JSON String
JavaAndroidJsonHashmapJava Problem Overview
creating a hashmap from a json string in java?
I have json string like {"phonetype":"N95","cat":"WP"} and want to convert into a standard Hashmap.
How can i do it?
Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
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 - Java
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 - Java
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}
You can see this link it's helpful http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-convert-java-map-to-from-json-jackson/
Solution 4 - Java
You could use Gson library
Type type = new TypeToken<HashMap<String, String>>() {}.getType();
new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, type);
Solution 5 - Java
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)) ;
Solution 6 - Java
HashMap<String, Object> map = new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, HashMap.class);
try this
Solution 7 - Java
HashMap<String, String> hashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
String string = "{\"phonetype\":\"N95\",\"cat\":\"WP\"}";
try {
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(string);
hashMap.put("phonetype", json.getString("phonetype"));
hashMap.put("cat", json.getString("cat"));
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Handle expection!
}
Solution 8 - Java
In Java we can do it using the following statement . We need to use Jackson ObjectMapper for the same and provide the HashMap.class as the mapping class. Finally store the result as a HashMap object.
HashMap<String,String> hashMap = new ObjectMapper().readValue(jsonString, HashMap.class);
Solution 9 - Java
Don't do this yourself, I suggest.
Use a library, e.g. the Gson library from Google.
Solution 10 - Java
consider this json string

No JSON libraries, just String and HashMap.
Keeps it simple!
Hope it suits to all.
// JSON Transform to HashMap example based on String
String tempJson = "{\"incomePhone\":\"213121122\",\"clientId\":\"1001\",\"clientAccountManager\":\"Gestor de Conta 1\",\"clientRetailBranch\":\"100\",\"phoneAccountManager\":\"7800100\"}";
System.out.println(tempJson);
String[] parts = tempJson.split(",");
HashMap<String,String> jsonHash = new HashMap<String,String>();
for(int i=0;i<parts.length;i++){
parts[i] = parts[i].replace("\"", "");
parts[i] = parts[i].replace("{", "");
parts[i] = parts[i].replace("}", "");
String[] subparts = parts[i].split(":");
jsonHash.put(subparts[0],subparts[1]);
}

Best way to parse Json to HashMap
public static HashMap<String, String> jsonToMap(JSONObject json) throws JSONException {
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
try {
Iterator<String> iterator = json.keys();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
String key = iterator.next();
String value = json.getString(key);
map.put(key, value);
}
return map;
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
Solution 14 - Java
This worked for me:
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject();
jsonObj.put("phonetype","N95");
jsonObj.put("cat","WP");
jsonObj to Hashmap as following using gson
HashMap<String, Object> hashmap = new Gson().fromJson(jsonObj.toString(), HashMap.class);

Here is an example of an easy and simple way to create a Hashmap from a JSON string by only using the JSON simple library:
>{"Collection":{"Item_Type":"Any","Name":"A","Item_ID":"000014"},"Object_Name":"System"}
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.*;
public class JSONRead {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Object obj = new JSONParser().parse(new FileReader("D:\\other.json"));
HashMap<String,String> map =new HashMap<String,String>();
// typecasting obj to JSONObject
JSONObject jo = (JSONObject) obj;
Map Item_Id = ((Map)jo.get("Collection"));
Iterator<Map.Entry> itr1 = Item_Id.entrySet().iterator();
while (itr1.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry pair = itr1.next();
String key = (String) pair.getKey();
String value = (String) pair.getValue();
System.out.println( pair.getKey() + " : " + pair.getValue());
map.put(key, value);
}
System.out.println(map)
System.out.println(map.get("Item"));
}
Solution 16 - Java
You could use Jackson to do this. I have yet to find a simple Gson solution.
Where data_map.json is a JSON (object) resource file
and data_list.json is a JSON (array) resource file.
