BE THE CODER > JSON > JSON JAVA Examples

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text-based open standard designed for human-readable data interchange. Douglas Crockford has provided a reference implementation of JSON in Java at http://json.org/ useful for JSON serialization and deserialization. Click here to download the compiled library. The following example shows converting a JSONArray to CSV.
