Converting a String to array of JSON objects and parsing those

I have a string in the format like this

[{name:"abc",test:"123",jack:{tret:"abc",cold:"yes"},killer:"yes"},{name:"pqr",test:"456",jack:{tret:"hg",cold:"No"},killer:"No"}]

I know that this is an array of JSON objects.How do I convert this so?

As of now i am just using split and removing all the commas and other things from the string and storing in an array.Is there any better way to do so?

You can use Jackson library and further you can go through this for parsing http://www.mkyong.com/java/jackson-tree-model-example/

Use the https://code.google.com/p/json-simple/ library for handling JSON.

Here is a sample code:

JSONObject json = (JSONObject)new JSONParser().parse("{\"name\":\"MyNode\", \"width\":200, \"height\":100}");
System.out.println("name=" + json.get("name"));
System.out.println("width=" + json.get("width"));

Please refer to this stackoverflow answer for more answers in this matter.

I use Gson library from Google

JsonElement parse = (new JsonParser()).parse(jsonString);

Using a JSON library is definitely the way to go, but I might suggest one that's being actively developed such as jackson or gson. Both have extensive documentation and examples.
