Java how to getString from site

Currently I'm trying how to extract this information in the jar file to pass server the information required.

When you trigger this url:

http://ipinfo.io/country

But the return will be in a 2 variable , so my problem is how to extract since it's not a JSON.

   try {
         URL obj = new URL("http://ipinfo.io/country");

         HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

         con.setRequestMethod("GET");
         con.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5");

         con.setDoOutput(true);
         con.setDoInput(true);


         int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();

         BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));

         String joinString = "";
         String decodedString;
         while ((decodedString = in.readLine()) != null) {
             joinString = joinString + decodedString;
         }
         in.close();
         //-- Logging (joinString) & responseCode
         this.setCountry(new JSONObject(joinString).getString(""));


     } catch (IOException ex) {
         Logger.getLogger(RegUserRequest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

     }

the http://ipinfo.io/country get request returns a country code as text output.

So why not simply doing :

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String countryCode = in.readLine();

If it provides directly the data and that you have a single data to retrieve, why do you want to use JSON ?

They provide a JSON API that returns JSON and the country code. But please also consider what they tell you about using their service / API:

Free usage of our API is limited to 1,000 API requests per day. If you exceed 1,000 requests in a 24 hour period we'll return a 429 HTTP status code to you. If you need to make more requests or custom data, see our paid plans, which all have soft limits.

You can print it with:

System.out.println(joinString);

If you need The GR string is in your joinString as plain text.
