JSON in Java [package org.json]

This package needs a new owner. I have not used it in over a decade, and I do not have time to maintain programs that I do not use.

If you think you can give this package a good home, please contact me.

JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format. See http://www.JSON.org/

The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java. It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP headers, Cookies, and CDL.

This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until then, choose carefully.

The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good, not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different package.

The package compiles on Java 1.8.

JSONObject.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant object serialization.

JSONArray.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant array serialization.

JSONTokener.java: The JSONTokener breaks a text into a sequence of individual tokens. It can be constructed from a String, Reader, or InputStream.

JSONException.java: The JSONException is the standard exception type thrown by this package.

JSONString.java: The JSONString interface requires a toJSONString method, allowing an object to provide its own serialization.

JSONStringer.java: The JSONStringer provides a convenient facility for building JSON strings.

JSONWriter.java: The JSONWriter provides a convenient facility for building JSON text through a writer.

CDL.java: CDL provides support for converting between JSON and comma delimited lists.

Cookie.java: Cookie provides support for converting between JSON and cookies.

CookieList.java: CookieList provides support for converting between JSON and cookie lists.

HTTP.java: HTTP provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers.

HTTPTokener.java: HTTPTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing HTTP headers.

XML.java: XML provides support for converting between JSON and XML.

JSONML.java: JSONML provides support for converting between JSONML and XML.

XMLTokener.java: XMLTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing XML text.
