Converting BufferedReader to JSONObject or Map

First do it as string. you can use custom librarys for that like

 String message = org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toString(rd);

or a StringBuilder

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();    String line;    br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {        sb.append(line);    }

Then you can parse it. Since it's an object because of the "{" (array begin and ends with []) you need to create an JSONObject.

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(sb.toString());

then you can access your elements with

//{ "status": "ERROR", "errorCode": "MISSING_PARAMS", "errorMessage": null, "requestId": "20141014181739_11625805172", "downstreamModuleErrorCode": null, "object": [ "activity_code", "activity_name", "points", "frequency", "strategy", "vsa_app_access_token" ]}json.getString("status");

or the array with

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(json.getString("object"));

or you use the method getJSONArray()

JSONArray jsonArray = json.getJSONArray("object");

InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();    String line;    while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {        builder.append(line + "\n");        }JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(builder.toString());for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {     JSONObject json = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);    if (!json.get("object").equals(null)) {        JSONArray objectJsonArray = json.getJSONArray("object");            for (int i = 0; i < objectJsonArray.length(); i++) {                JSONObject json = objectJsonArray.getJSONObject(i);                 }           }}

Hope it helps.

And what about this:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));JsonReader reader = Json.createReader(in);JsonObject object = reader.readObject();String s = object.toString();
