Is JSONObject supported in OpenJDK 8?

I have a json-lib-2.2-jdk15.jar library on my classpath, but it does not work as expected in the following code:

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(); // I import this as org.json.JSONObject;
jsonObj.put("UserName", "PETER");
jsonObj.put("Age", "20");
sName = jsonObj.toString();
writeLog(logFile, "JSON value is:" + sName + "\n");

It returns sName = null while I expect it to return sName = {"UserName":"PETER","Age":"20"}.

Is the code wrong or does JSONObject not work with OpenJDK 8?

Your json-lib-2.2-jdk15.jar is a release of 2008, which is very old, and which is no longer supported.

You can use JSON-Java (reference implementation) instead (if you do not want to use Jackson, GSON or something more popular), and this code:

    JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject();
    jsonObj.put("UserName", "PETER");
    jsonObj.put("Age", "20");
    String sName = jsonObj.toString();
    System.out.println(sName);

will output:

{"UserName":"PETER","Age":"20"}

If you want to download the .jar file alternative of the JSON-Java, you can do it from here.
