What's wrong with the JSONObject(String) constructor? Just store your JSON text in a string and use it - it should handle nested objects just fine:

String json = "{...}";

try {
    JSONObject o = new JSONObject(json);

    // Print out the JSON text with a 4-space indentation
    System.out.println(o.toString(4));
} catch (JSONException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
