How to parse unknown JSON structure in Java

I have this bit of code:

JSONArray data = object.getJSONArray("Test");

for (int i = 0; i < data.length(); i++)
{
    JSONObject dataObject = data.getJSONObject(i);
    etc ...

I don't know before run time what I will have in dataObject though. Is it possible to loop through the keys somehow?

I thought this might work, as I saw it mentioned in another Stackoverflow article:

for (String key : dataObject.keys())

But I get an error saying "Can only iterate over an array or an instance of java.lang.Iterable"

Does anyone know how it can be done?

To Retrieving the keys of your object this might work :

Iterator<?> iterator = object.keys();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
   String key = (String)iterator.next();
   //do what you want with the key.                 
}

i guess

Iterator keys = json.keys();

this will give you the keys of your json object as java iterator

How can I iterate JSONObject to get individual items

This will give you an idea to get the keys and values in iterative manner and helps you to implement for your need

I hope this will help 

Object obj = parser.parse(s);
JSONArray array = (JSONArray)obj;
