Android parsing JSON multiple arrays

[{"name":"Mark","Surname":"Gaux"}]
[{"Job":"2","Type":"Office"}]

I have this JSON echoed by a PHP file on the server and then received by my Android application.

Since I didn't manage to merge the two into one array [ ], you notice that I have two arrays [] [].

When I had one array I parsed it in my Android application using this loop:

try{

    JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(response);

            for(int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){
                JSONObject json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                jname = json_data.getString("name");
                jsurname = json_data.getString("Surname");
...
}

Just a simple example.

I'm a bit confused concerning JSONArray and JSONObject. JSONArray is anything between [] and JSONObject is anything between {} ?

Well now that I have two arrays, how do I loop from one into the other?

Or am I better off merging them into one array from the PHP and using the technique I used up to now?

If you're trying to send both arrays in one response you could do that:

[                                         
    [{"name":"Mark","Surname":"Gaux"}],
    [{"Job":"2","Type":"Office"}]
]

Whole JSON string is a JSONArray:
getJSONArray(0) contains JSONObjects with name and Surname
getJSONArray(1) contains JSONObjects with Job and Type
