In java you can use JsonPath:

String jsonToDecode =   "{" +
         " \"hostId\" : 286,\n" +
            "  \"parentSectionName\" : \"adadfr\",\n" +
            "  \"rank\" : 86096.0,\n" +
            "  \"activationStatus\" : \"ACTIVE\",\n" +
            "  \"overrideLinkProp\" : 0,"+
            "}";
System.out.println(JsonPath.from(jsonToDecode).getString("hostId"));

Assuming that your json looks like this:

        String jsonToDecode =   "{" +
         " \"hostId\" : 286,\n" +
            "  \"parentSectionName\" : \"adadfr\",\n" +
            "  \"rank\" : 86096.0,\n" +
            "  \"activationStatus\" : \"ACTIVE\",\n" +
            "  \"overrideLinkProp\" : 0,"+
            "}";

You can decode it using "com.googlecode.json-simple" package like so:

    JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
    Object parsedJson = new Object();
    try {
        parsedJson  = parser.parse(jsonToDecode);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        //do something when json parsing fails
    }
    JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) parsedJson;
    String name = (String) jsonObject.get("parentSectionName");
    System.out.print(name); // will output adadfr
