how to parse json (from elasticsearch) into array without the meta info

{
  "took": 3,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 2,
    "max_score": 1.0,
    "hits": [
      {
        "_index": "contacts",
        "_type": "index",
        "_id": "2",
        "_score": 1.0,
        "_source": {
          "id": "c201",
          "name": "Johnny Depp",
          "phone": {
            "mobile": "+91 0000000000",
            "home": "00 000000"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

I have a elasticsearch json object to use in my application. I do not want to use the elasticsearch api. Also need to strip off the meta info, could you please advise

This answer assumes you are using the org.json package and that the hits array only has one element (otherwise you need to loop over hitsArr):

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonString);
JSONObject hitsObj = json.getJSONObject("hits");
JSONArray hitsArr = hitsObj.getJSONArray("hits");
JSONObject first = hitsArr.getJSONObject(0); // assumes 1 entry in hits array
JSONObject source = first.getJSONObject("_source");
JSONObject phone = source.getJSONObject("phone");

String id = source.getString("id");
String name = source.getString("name");
String mobile = phone.getString("mobile");
String home = phone.getString("home");

System.out.println(id + "\n" + name + "\n" + mobile + "\n" +home);
