How do I remove quotes from a boolean value in a JSON string?

I have:

String example = {"test":"true"}

but I want to have:

example = {"test":true}

How can I convert the first string to the second?

If you want it done right, then you need to make sure to take care of other conditions in the json data. Assuming parse_data is JSONObject (java) 

String raw_tag = parse_data.toString();
        raw_tag = raw_tag.replaceAll(":\"true\"", ":true");
        raw_tag = raw_tag.replaceAll(",\"true\"", ",true");
        raw_tag = raw_tag.replaceAll("\\[\"true\"", "\\[true");
        raw_tag = raw_tag.replaceAll(":\"false\"", ":false");
        raw_tag = raw_tag.replaceAll(",\"false\"", ",false");
        raw_tag = raw_tag.replaceAll("\\[\"false\"", "\\[false");
System.out.print(parseData);

Use regular expression and/or String class method like 'replaceAll'.

You can use String result = example.replaceAll(":\"true\"", ":true"}; and String result = example.replaceAll(":\"false\"", ":false"}; if there are only boolean values.
