Solved Read a JSON from a web api

Hi, I need to read a JSON from a web api, but I don't know how to do it. Can someone help me a bit?
I need to read something similar to this: https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/galaipa

Thanks

 

@galaipa dont think this has much to do with bukkit. try stackoverflow.com there you will get faster help i guess

 

https://code.google.com/p/json-simple/
This library is already packaged in with the Bukkit API.

 

@Shmobi
I have posted in stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28746128/how-to-read-a-json-file-on-a-web
@teej107 But, how can I get the JSON from the web?

 

Create a URL object with the URL that contains the JSON file.
Create a BufferedReader (Using URL#openStream() inside of a InputStreamReader (I think))
Create a String
While ( (String = BufferedReader#readLine) != null)
Do whatever (Add to a sting buffer maybe?)
JSONParser#paser( String/String Buffer)
Make sure to close the BufferedReader.

 

@TGRHavoc Thank you. I have arrived here. But I get all the json file and I only need to get one value.

Code:

public String zerrendandago(String name){
StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
try
{
URL url = new URL("https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/" + name);
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
{
content.append(line + "\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return content.toString();
}

 

JSONObject =(JSONObject) JSONParser#parse(String)
And because JSONObject implements java.util.Map, you can just do JSONObject#get("VALUE")

 

@TGRHavoc Thank you very much!
I leave here the final code:

Code:

public String web(String name, String zer){
StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
try
{
URL url = new URL("https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/" + name);
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
{
content.append(line + "\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
return null;
}
try{
String lortu = content.toString();
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jo = (JSONObject) parser.parse(lortu);
return (String) jo.get(zer);
}
catch(Exception e){
return null;
}
}
