How to preserve LinkedHashMap ordering in JSONObject?
Unlike JSONObject, JSONArray is an ordered sequence of values.So if you want to preserve the order of your map, you can construct your json object with two keys:
The first key can be called data and will hold your
stateMapdata like this :json.element('data', stateMap)The second key can be called keys and it will be a JSONArray object which will hold the ordered list of your map keys like this :
JSONArray array = new JSONArray();array.addAll(stateMap.keySet())json.put('keys', array)
