Once i have parsed a JSON String into a GSON provided JsonObject class, (assume that i do not wish to parse it into any meaningful data objects, but strictly want to use JsonObject), how am i able to modify a field / value of a key directly?
I don't see an API that may help me.

public static JSONObject convertFileToJSON(String fileName, String username, List<String> list)
throws FileNotFoundException, IOException, org.json.simple.parser.ParseException {
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
String jsonStr = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(fileName)));
json = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
System.out.println(json);
JSONArray jsonArray = json.getJSONArray("users");
JSONArray finalJsonArray = new JSONArray();
/**
* Get User form setNewUser method
*/
//finalJsonArray.put(setNewUserPreference());
boolean has = true;
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
finalJsonArray.put(jsonObject);
String username2 = jsonObject.getString("userName");
if (username2.equals(username)) {
has = true;
}
System.out.println("user name are :" + username2);
JSONObject jsonObject2 = jsonObject.getJSONObject("languages");
String eng = jsonObject2.getString("Eng");
String fin = jsonObject2.getString("Fin");
String ger = jsonObject2.getString("Ger");
jsonObject2.put("Eng", "ChangeEnglishValueCheckForLongValue");
System.out.println(" Eng : " + eng + " Fin " + fin + " ger : " + ger);
}
System.out.println("Final JSON Array \n" + json);
jsonArray.put(setNewUserPreference());
return json;
}

This works for modifying childkey value using JSONObject
.
import used is
import org.json.JSONObject;
ex json:(convert json file to string while giving as input)
{
"parentkey1": "name",
"parentkey2": {
"childkey": "test"
},
}
Code
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(String jsoninputfileasstring);
jObject.getJSONObject("parentkey2").put("childkey","data1");
System.out.println(jObject);
output:
{
"parentkey1": "name",
"parentkey2": {
"childkey": "data1"
},
}

Since 2.3 version of Gson library the JsonArray class have a 'set' method.
Here's an simple example:
JsonArray array = new JsonArray();
array.add(new JsonPrimitive("Red"));
array.add(new JsonPrimitive("Green"));
array.add(new JsonPrimitive("Blue"));
array.remove(2);
array.set(0, new JsonPrimitive("Yelow"));

It's actually all in the documentation.
JSONObject and JSONArray can both be used to replace the standard data structure.
To implement a setter simply call a remove(String name)
before a put(String name, Object value)
.
Here's an simple example:
public class BasicDB {
private JSONObject jData = new JSONObject;
public BasicDB(String username, String tagline) {
try {
jData.put("username", username);
jData.put("tagline" , tagline);
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String getUsername () {
String ret = null;
try {
ret = jData.getString("username");
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return ret;
}
public void setUsername (String username) {
try {
jData.remove("username");
jData.put("username" , username);
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String getTagline () {
String ret = null;
try {
ret = jData.getString("tagline");
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return ret;
}

Another approach would be to deserialize into a java.util.Map
, and then just modify the Java Map
as wanted. This separates the Java-side data handling from the data transport mechanism (JSON), which is how I prefer to organize my code: using JSON for data transport, not as a replacement data structure.

Strangely, the answer is to keep adding back the property. I was half expecting a setter
method. :S
System.out.println("Before: " + obj.get("DebugLogId")); // original "02352"
obj.addProperty("DebugLogId", "YYY");
System.out.println("After: " + obj.get("DebugLogId")); // now "YYY"
